What are the different types of cable tensile membrane structures?

Question

Accepted Answer

Cable tensile membrane structures fall into types by design and use. Linear tensile structures have suspension bridges, draped cables, cable-stayed beams or trusses and straight tensioned cables. These use straight parts to bear tension forces, with compression parts such as masts or pillars. Three-dimensional tensile structures show more complexity. They use parts mainly for tension and shift compression forces to central masts or foundations. Examples are sports arenas and large event venues used as roofs. Membrane tensioned structures use a fabric held by cables that spread tensile forces. They serve as roofs or canopies and cover large areas with few materials. Pneumatic structures use air pressure to hold the fabric, a choice for short-term or specific uses. Each type fits different places and uses. They allow design and function to vary. They appear in sports facilities, exhibition halls next to storage buildings because they cover large spaces cheaply and nicely.
