Tensile or tension fabric structure: A structure that is categorized by a tensioning of the membrane system. It can hold many forms, though it is normally based on two basic building blocks The flexibility of the tensile structure allows for large displacements without permanent deformation. The elastic properties and prestress level of the membrane material determine the deformation and response of the membrane structure. The flexibility of adapting to nature can inspire people's architectural design inspiration. Tensioned membrane structures are not rigid and deform under the action of wind or snow loads. The membrane structure adapts to the external load by deforming. During this process, the radius of curvature of the membrane surface in the direction of the load will decrease until it can resist the load more effectively.This builds by structural and dramatic architectural works, proposing a wide-ranging variation of free-form roof structures and design. The tensioning of the fabric reduces any crinkles in the fabric and makes it an asset for the material to withstand any severe climate and potential damage.
