Introduction
Structural Principle:
Air pressure is used to support and force in all directions. This force is used to
support the fabric. The cables do not support the fabric, but hold it down. The
fabric is attached to the cables in panels resulting in a hybrid membrane. The
hybrid membrane transfers the stresses from the fabric to the cables. The cables
are attached to a compression ring, which resists the uplifting forces.
Types:
The two basic types of air supported structures are HIGH PROFILE and LOW.
PROFILE refers to the height to the structure relative to its span. High profile
structures are typically used for temporary or storage facilities and are often
free standing, which means they have no foundation upon which they rest. Low
profile structures are used to span long distances such as sports stadiums, also
low profile structures tend to be placed upon a building rather then the ground
itself, thus being used as roofs. This is due to the forces involved in supported the
structure.

Displacements Of Beam And Cable Structures.
One of the main characteristics of cable-membrane structures that they have no
stiffness against loading perpendicular to the line of the cable or the surface of the
membrane. The large displacements result in a significant change of the geometry
and therefore lead to a geometrically non-linear design and analysis procedure.
The stiffness of a cable-membrane structure can be increased in two ways: using
special geometry (for example increasing the sagging height) or using prestressing.
Furthermore the structural behaviour of cable-membrane structures can be
characterized by the following equation:
T1/R1+T2/R2=F
T1 and T2…..Internal forces in membrane.
R1 and R2 ….Radii of principal Curvature
F=External load

CABLE-NET CONSRTUCTIONS
1.The constructional elements are steel pylons, steel cable networks, steel or
wooden grids, and roof coverings of acrylic glass or translucent, plastic-reinforced
sheeting.
2.Cables are fastened into the edges of the steel network, and are laid over pin-
jointed and usually obliquely positioned steel supports, and then anchored.
3.Cable net structures are for covering large unsupported spans with considerable
ease.

Additional Staying
A TYPICAL 3D finite element program suite developed by Tensys for the design of
tensile structures. Featuring full,large deformation, geometric non-linearity, it is
based upon a Dynamic Relaxation solution process.
Architecture of cables:
1.The tension members are termed as cables are group of wires, strands or ropes.
2. A wire is continuous length of steel that has circular cross section. The word strand
indicates a group of wires surrounded around a single core in a twisted form. The layers
might be more than one. Z-lock cables are used in some structures which consist of z-
shaped wires at the perimeter of the strands.
Architecture of cables
Cables comprise number of wires. The cables do not loose
their strength in case of failure of one wire. Cables have yield
strength of approximately 240 ksi to 270 ksi.
The wires in strand are zinc coated and stranded into helix
which forms a regular cross section. The core of strand
consists of central wire and other wires are wound around the
control wire in number of layers up to 4
Variety of cables with infill of zinc rich powder filling the gaps between the
wires
The several conditions which might affect the life expectancy of the cables are type of
material, its properties, climate conditions, coating systems and high performance
paints.
