    This document discusses suspended roof structures that use tensile elements like cables and membranes to span large distances. It describes two main types of suspended roofs - flexible membrane roofs that are generally temporary, and cable network roofs that are more commonly used for permanent structures. Cable network roofs use perimeter compression rings, interior tension rings, and foundations to resist the tension in the cables. The document also discusses different shapes, materials, and examples of cable suspended and cable stayed roof structures.

    The key takeaways are that tensile structures carry loads only through tension and span large distances economically. They are commonly used as roofs and come in different types like flexible membranes, cable networks, cable stayed, and cable suspended.

    The different types of suspended roof structures discussed are flexible membrane, cable network, cable stayed, cable suspended, and cable cum air supported roofs.

    The different shapes of cable suspended roof systems are synclastic (positive gaussian curvature), anticlastic (negative gaussian curvature), and surface of single curvature (zero gaussian curvature).

    Tensile structure
    Atensile structureis aconstructionof
    elements carrying onlytensionand
    nocompressionorbending.
    Tensile structures are the most common type
    ofthin-shell structures.
    Most tensile structures are supported by some
    form of compression or bending elements, such
    as masts, compression rings or beams.
    Atensile membrane structureis most often
    used as aroof, as they can economically and
    attractively span large distances.

    MATERIALS :
    Steel Cables : The high tensile strength of
    steel combined with the efficiency of simple
    tension, makes a steel cable the ideal structural
    element to span large distances.

    Nylon and plastics are suitable only for


    temporary structures, spanning small distances.

    Other structural members like masts, compression


    rings, arches or beams and compression struts
    may be of concrete or steel preferably. Struts may
    also be of timber.

    Membrane structures
    Membrane structuresare spatial structures made out of
    tensioned membranes.The structural use of membranes can
    be divided into following:
    pneumatic structures,
    tensile membrane structures
    cable domes.

    Either a cable frame or a skeleton frame can form the


    structure that sustains the membrane.

    A membrane material has a natural tendency to curve, and


    although it can endure tension, it cannot withstand
    compression or bending.

    Synthetic fibres and glass fibres are now utilized and


    Membrane structures carry loads by membrane forces only, with no or
    only insignificant bending.

    If tensile and compressive membrane forces are permitted, we speak of


    shells.

    If the compressive forces are eliminated, we speak of tensile membrane


    structures.

    Their aim is to actually realize the surface itself with a material which is
    able to carry tensile forces only, in order to achieve extreme lightness or
    even translucence.

    In order to eliminate the compressive forces in the membrane structure,


    they are to be pretensioned or prestressed which means that tensile
    stresses are to be built up in the surface to the extent, that even after
    superimposing the outer loads (dead load, wind, snow, etc.) the structure
    remains stable.
