This document discusses the components and materials used in tensile structures. It describes the base plate, membranes, and bale rings/membrane plates that make up these structures. The membranes can be made from PVC coated polyester, silicon coated glass, or teflon coated glass. The document also lists advantages like recyclability and lightweight design, and disadvantages like lack of rigidity. Specialized hardware used includes cable clamps, cables, bale rings, and channel and lacing components.

2. ● BASE PLATE- Connection to concrete foundation pillar.
● MEMBRANES- Forms the enclosure of the structure. Connections can
be glued or heat welded.
➢ PVC coated polyester (polyvinylchloride)
➢ Silicon coated glass
➢ Teflon coated glass P.T.F.E (poly-tetra-fluro-ethylene)
● BALE RING/ MEMBRANE PLATE- Provide a link between the membrane
and structural elements.
➢Bale rings are used at the top of conical shapes.
➢Membrane plates accept centenary cables and pin connection

4. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
ADVANTAGES :-
• Longer life cycles of materials.
• Materials can be re-used in form.
• Most materials are completely recyclable.
• Less impact on site.
• Less construction debris after demolition.
• Unique designs
• Lightweight and flexible
• Environmentally sensitive
• High strength weight ratio. DISADVANTAGES :-
• Little to no rigidity
• Loss of tension is dangerous for
stability
• Thermal values limit use
