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.
The Expo Axis is one of the world's largest membrane roofs.It spanned the entrance and boulevard building of the World Exposition 2010 in Shanghai.. The combination of the membrane structure, which has a surface of 65,000 m 2 in total with a span of 100 m, and the six steelglass funnels of 45 m height, formed of a freeform double-curved framework, constitutes the landmark of the Expo Shanghai ...
Membrane technology encompasses the scientific processes used in the construction and application of membranes. Membranes are used to facilitate the transport or ...
The staggered truss system is a type of structural steel framing used in high-rise buildings.The system consists of a series of story-high trusses spanning the total width between two rows of exterior columns and arranged in a staggered pattern on adjacent column lines. [1]
In 1972, S. Jonathan Singer and Garth Nicolson developed new ideas for membrane structure. Their proposal was the fluid mosaic model, which is one of the dominant models now. It has two key features—a mosaic of proteins embedded in the membrane, and the membrane being a fluid bi-layer of lipids.
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 ...
A membrane is a selective barrier; it allows some things to pass through but stops others. Such things may be molecules, ions, or other small particles.
