Tensile roof details.

Material options for rope fittings the tensile structures rope fittings come in a variety of finishes and material options including. Aluminum copper copper zinc cast iron zinc plated steel galvanized steel and stainless steel. A tensile structure is a construction of elements carrying only tension and no compression or bending. We specialize in the design build of custom tensile structures fabric facades tensile roof systems and shade sails.

Hot product hot project customize tensile structures for bleacher spectator grandstands roofs. A tensile membrane structure is most often used as a roof as they ca. The term tensile should not be confused with tensegrity which is a structural form with both tension and compression elements. A tensile structure is a structure elements carrying only tension and no compression or bending.

Most tensile structures are supported by some form of compression or bending elements such as masts compression rings or beams. These type of structure is commonly found in sports facilities warehousing and storage buildings and exhibition venues. Their main characteristics are the way in which they work under. Despite their very high tensile performance 1mm thick membrane skins are by their nature susceptible to vandalism.

Tensile structures are the most common type of thin shell structures. Tensile structure is the term usually used to refer to the construction of roofs using a membrane held in place on steel cables.
