Tensile structures are the most common type of thin-shell structures. Most tensile structures are supported by some form of compression or bending elements, such as masts, compression rings or beams. A tensile membrane structure is most often used as a roof, as they can economically and attractively span large distances of any shape, size.
Tensile fabric structures have properties quite distinct from other building materials and require a clear understanding of the guiding principles if they are to be handled successfully. At Texsys Structures we have the most experienced fabric welders and fabric handling people who know the properties and act accordingly to achieve the best forms. Following are some of the places where tensile fabric can be implemented:
Engineering and architecture are virtually inseparable in the design of tensile and we at Texsys Structures place a very high emphasis on design that is functionally driven, and we believe our structures are all the more elegant for it. The kind of structures that we offer are:
