Dubrovnik’s market was originally located partly inside a Renaissance-era palace and partly scattered along the streets outside the palace. The new market plan proposed creating a single public building to unify its public functions. The project re-established the palace’s original layout, removed various additions, and restored the heritage building. At the same time, it redesigned the market layout and provided weather protection. Its prime location creates a new identity and direction for both the port and the city. The protective canopy/roof for the market had to be low enough so as not to obstruct the view of the palace. At the same time, it had to provide ample fresh air and light. It had to minimize the number of supporting columns to maintain flexibility in the space below; its structure should prevent birds from lingering above the food stalls; and it had to be partially inside and partially outside the palace, unifying the two spaces. Rotating triangular…

Stadiums use tensile membrane roofs because these systems can cover wide seating areas with fewer view-blocking supports while providing shade, rain protection, natural daylight, and distinctive roof designs. Their lightweight roof coverings can also create more flexibility for large stadium projects. A stadium roof must do more than look good. It needs to suit the seating layout, local climate, budget, and long-term maintenance plan. Here are seven practical benefits of tensile membrane stadium roofs—and what owners should consider before choosing one. 1. Large-Span Coverage With Clearer Stadium Sightlines Large stadiums need roofs that cover wide seating areas without placing columns in the way of the action. Tensile membrane roof systems can help achieve this by spanning large areas with a combination of prestressed membrane material, cables, and steel supports. With a well-designed support arrangement, structural elements can be positioned away from key viewing areas. Spectators enjoy a clearer view of the pitch, while architects gain more flexibility…
Tensile membrane structures can take many architectural forms by combining membrane curvature, high and low points, steel arches, masts, edge cables, and cable systems. Common configurations include hypar, conical, barrel vault, arch-supported, saddle-shaped, ridge-and-valley, wave-shaped, and umbrella structures. Each form behaves differently in terms of load transfer, coverage efficiency, drainage, visual character, and suitability for different sites. This guide introduces 12 common types of tensile structures and compares their membrane shapes, support systems, key advantages, and typical applications. It is intended to help owners, architects, consultants, and project procurement teams narrow down suitable concepts for car parks, stadiums, commercial plazas, landscape shade structures, and other architectural projects. For a broader overview of where these systems are used, see Yexing’s guide to tensile structure applications. 12 Common Types of Tensile Structures at a Glance Hypar Tensile Structure Conical Tensile Structure Barrel Vault Tensile Structure Arch-Supported Tensile Structure Saddle-Shaped Tensile Structure Ridge-and-Valley Tensile Structure Wave-Shaped Tensile Structure Umbrella Tensile…
In modern construction, tensile membrane structures have become a leading solution for long-span buildings and landmark architecture. They are widely used in stadiums, airports, commercial complexes, industrial facilities, and landscape shading systems due to their lightweight structure, flexibility, and modern aesthetic. Driven by green building trends and low-carbon construction requirements, membrane structures are increasingly adopted worldwide for both functional and architectural purposes. This article explains the system, structure types, materials, applications, advantages, and limitations of tensile membrane structures in a structured and engineering-focused way. What is a Tensile Structure? A tensile structure is a modern architectural system centered on “tensile forces.” It maintains overall structural stability primarily by creating a stable pre-stress through the interaction of membrane materials, cables, steel supports, and anchorage nodes. Unlike traditional buildings that rely on “compression-based” structures such as beams, columns, and walls, tensile membrane structures rely more on the following: Tension balance Curved surface loading Overall mechanical distribution These mechanisms are…
A football stadium roof does more than shape a venue’s appearance. It also affects the amount of daylight reaching the pitch, spectator comfort, structural safety, and long-term maintenance costs. ETFE and PTFE are two commonly used membrane materials for stadium roofs, but each offers distinct advantages. So, which one is the better choice for your football stadium project? This article compares ETFE and PTFE in terms of light transmission, durability, structural performance, and cost. By looking at different football stadium requirements and real-world projects, it will help you understand the differences and identify a roofing solution that better suits your needs. ETFE or PTFE: Which Should You Choose for a Football Stadium Roof? ETFE and PTFE are both widely used in modern football stadium membrane roofing, but they differ significantly in material properties, light transmission, and typical applications. ETFE is a lightweight, transparent, or translucent fluoropolymer film that can be used in single-layer tensioned systems or multi-layer…
Choosing between a single-layer ETFE roof and an ETFE cushion roof is not simply a matter of choosing one or more layers of film. Although both systems use lightweight, light-transmitting ETFE foil, they differ in how they are supported, how well they insulate, and what they cost to operate and maintain. If you need a roof mainly for rain protection and daylight over an open or semi-open space, a single-layer ETFE system may be a practical starting point. If your project is an enclosed atrium, greenhouse, or skylight where indoor temperature matters, an insulated ETFE cushion system is often worth considering. Some projects use both. This guide compares the two roof systems in plain English and uses real Yexing projects to show where single-layer ETFE and inflated cushions make sense. What Is the Difference Between Single-Layer ETFE and ETFE Cushion Roofs? The main difference is how the ETFE film is supported and whether the roof uses an…
Choosing between a tensile membrane roof and a traditional roof is not about finding one system that is better in every situation. It is about finding the roof that fits your project. A tensile membrane roof is often a better fit for large spans, lightweight structures, semi-open spaces, and projects where the roof is part of the architectural identity. A traditional roof is often a better fit for enclosed buildings that need strong thermal insulation, acoustic control, regular roof access, and standard construction details. The right choice depends on span, building use, structural load, climate, installation conditions, maintenance needs, and total project cost. This guide compares both systems from a project owner’s point of view. Tensile Membrane Roof vs. Traditional Roof: What Are the Main Differences? A traditional roof usually uses rigid structural members and conventional roof layers. Common examples include metal roofing, insulated sandwich panels, concrete roofs, and tiled roofs. A tensile membrane roof works differently….
If you are evaluating a tensile membrane roof, stadium canopy, entrance structure, or large-scale shade system, one of the first questions to answer is not simply whether a particular membrane material is “good.” A more useful question is, “What components make up a complete tensile membrane structure, and how do they work together to transfer loads safely into the supporting structure and foundations?” From an engineering and procurement perspective, a typical tensile membrane structure can be divided into five main systems: the membrane system, supporting structure, cable and tensioning system, connection nodes and hardware, and anchorage and foundations. Drainage, waterproofing, corrosion protection, and maintenance provisions are not always classified as primary structural components, but they still have a major influence on long-term performance. The 5 Main Components of a Tensile Membrane Structure Main Component Primary Function Typical Materials or Parts What Should You Check? 1. Membrane System Forms the architectural surface and carries in-plane tensile forces under prestress…
On October 17, 2025, the kick-off meeting for the compilation of the CSCS standard “Technical Standard for Closed Air-Supported Membrane Structures in Foundation Pit Engineering Construction” of the China Steel Construction Association was successfully held in Beijing. As a new type of green construction technology that has emerged in the past two years, the formulation of the industry’s first technical standard for foundation pit air-supported membrane technology will provide a unified and standardized technical basis for the promotion and application of this new technology. Foundation pit air-supported membrane, essentially, is an inflatable membrane structure constructed with high-strength membrane materials. It can cover the entire foundation pit, thus forming a closed working surface in a large space. So, why has this technology been able to be promoted and applied nationwide in the past two years? Can this technology be promoted and applied nationwide? In the practice of engineering projects mainly focusing on urban renewal, the foundation pit air-supported…
Can you imagine? In a laboratory at Harbin Institute of Technology, extreme weather conditions such as wind, rain, heat and snow can all be simulated. This is not a filming site for a science fiction movie, but a major national scientific research instrument development project, the “Joint Simulation Test System for the Entire Process of Wind, Rain, Heat and Snow in Large-Span Spatial Structures”. Entering the wind Engineering laboratory of Harbin Institute of Technology, a scaled-down model of a gymnasium is undergoing the test of extreme weather:In the cold wind of minus 15 degrees Celsius, artificial snow grains were swept into vortices by the fierce wind. The thermal radiation light array suddenly lit up, simulating the scorching midday sun. The rain nozzles spray ice rain simultaneously. This is precisely the daily test of the national major scientific research instrument development project “Wind-Rain-Heat-Snow Full-Process Joint Simulation Test System for Large-Span Spatial Structures”.In recent years, extreme ice and snow…
Single-layer ETFE roofs are lightweight, transparent, and well suited to long-span architecture, but their drainage behavior is different from that of rigid metal or glass roofs. On a shallow, nearly flat ETFE panel, the main risk is not simply that the nominal slope looks small. The critical problem is a local depression that develops under rain load: water collects, the membrane deflects further, and the deeper depression attracts more water. That feedback loop is the mechanism behind roof ponding. This guide uses the BIM model, detail drawings, measured dimensions, and on-site rectification records from a 1:1 ETFE mock-up for Qingdao Youth Football Stadium to answer a practical design-and-construction question: how can a project team reduce single-layer ETFE roof ponding risk before large-area installation begins? Scope and design boundary Every dimension and construction detail below comes from the Qingdao Youth Football Stadium ETFE mock-up. Other projects must be designed for their own local design rainfall intensity, span, support…
Tensile structure installation involves much more than placing a membrane over a steel frame and pulling it tight. A successful project requires the foundations, anchor points, steel supports, cable system, membrane panels, connection hardware, and drainage details to work together as one coordinated system. The installation process normally includes site verification, steel erection, membrane inspection, lifting and positioning, initial connection, progressive membrane tensioning, final inspection, and project handover. A problem at any stage can affect the final membrane geometry, pretension distribution, connection safety, and drainage performance. Incorrect anchor locations may prevent a membrane panel from reaching its fixing points. Incorrect panel orientation may result in removal and reinstallation. An unsuitable tensioning sequence may create wrinkles, uneven loading, localized overstress, or unintended low points where water can collect. This step-by-step guide explains the complete tensile structure installation process in the order it usually takes place on site. It is intended to help project owners, architects, contractors, and site…
Choosing a tensile membrane structure manufacturer should involve more than comparing prices, factory size, or project renderings. A tensile membrane structure is a coordinated engineering system involving architectural form, form-finding analysis, structural calculations, membrane fabrication, steelwork, cable systems, connection details, foundation interfaces and on-site installation. Even when high-quality membrane material is specified, inadequate structural analysis, drainage design, fabrication accuracy or tensioning control can still result in wrinkles, ponding water, structural deformation, installation delays and higher maintenance costs. The best tensile membrane structure manufacturer is one that can respond to the actual project location and site conditions with reliable engineering, clearly specified materials, verifiable manufacturing quality and well-defined installation and warranty responsibilities. This guide explains 10 key factors that project owners, architects, contractors and procurement teams can use to compare tensile structure manufacturers and reduce design, approval, manufacturing, shipping and installation risks. Technical note: This guide applies to tensile membrane carports, commercial canopies, stadium roofs, transportation facilities, landscape…
