English Abstract

Tensioned fabric structures are pre-stressed fabric structures that are appropriately to be used for long span application.

Tensioned fabric structures must depend on their shape and internal pre-stress alone to achieve stability and carrying loadings.

Some of the largest stadiums, airports, convention halls and commercial places are tensioned fabric structures.

Due to the flexibility of the fabric material used, a lot of tensioned fabric structures with different surface have been realized.

Classical minimal surface such as catenoid, helicoid, enneper and scherk or their variations for tensioned fabric structure have been studied.

Research study on Mobius strip and costa behavior as a tensioned fabric structure has been studied also.
