The basic types of tension structures are cable domes, mast supported, arch supported, radial tent and saddle roofs. The distinction between roof and wall is indistinct.
Tension structures can economically span large distances without internal obstructions without the need for any mechanical systems. Architecturally, theses structures are more pleasing since there are many different and dynamic shapes that can be built. |
