Materials for Membrane Structures
R. Houtman, M. Orpana
abstract:The most prominent material for stressed membrane structures is obviously the fabric. It is prominently present, attracts much attention and looks very simple.
To obtain this pleasant charisma there has been done a lot of research. The material is analysed and specific properties are defined and adapted. Properties like
transparency, durability, fire retardance but also elasticity, strength. In this paper the fabric is discussed to get a better understanding of those properties. The composition of the fabric is explained, followed by a discussion of the most common fabrics available today. Finally the structural behaviour of the fabric is discussed.
