Membrane structures are spatial structures made out of tensioned membranes. The structural use of membranes can be divided into pneumatic structures , tensile membrane structures , and cable domes. In these three kinds of structure, membranes work together with cables, columns and other construction members to find a form.
Membrane roofing is a type of roofing system for buildings, RVs, ponds, and, in some cases, tanks. It is used to create a watertight covering to protect the interior of a building. Membrane roofs are most commonly made from synthetic rubber, thermoplastic (PVC or similar material), or modified bitumen. Membrane roofs are most commonly used in ...
