The Tensioned Fabric Roof
- Used Book in Good Condition
"The Tensioned Fabric Roof" describes the state-of-the-art design of fabric tension structures. The fundamentals of a fabric structure's design and construction as required by engineers, contractors, and architects are presented. The book discusses the unusual character of the fabric structure industry and its implications for how structures are marketed, designed, and constructed. Included are chapters on the fundamentals of membrane behavior, the possibilities and limitations in roof form, fabric materials, analytical techniques, structural details, fabrication and erection, and non-structural design parameters that include daylighting, energy use, acoustics, and fire safety. Written by an experienced practitioner of fabric structure design, this book methodically addresses all aspects of the design and construction process. Structural engineers will gain an understanding of shaping, analysis, and design of members and connections; architects will learn the possibilities and limitations in fabric roof form, as well as the means of achieving successful energy, lighting, acoustical, and fire safety performance; and contractors will receive invaluable information related to their fabrication and erection. The book also includes special 24-page color insert.
