Issues to be considered at the project stage:
1. The expected size and tensioning method of tension;
2. Determine the size of the diaphragm and the arrangement of cables according to the control load;
3. Consider the shape of the membrane surface and its fixing parts to avoid accumulation of water (snow);
4. Design of key nodes to avoid stress concentration;
5. Consider the transportation and hoisting of membrane materials;
6. Consideration of durability and fire protection.
The main points to be considered in the design stage are:
1. Ensure that the membrane surface has sufficient curvature to obtain greater rigidity and aesthetic effects;
2. Refine the supporting structure to fully express the transparent space and lightweight shape;
3. Simplify the connection node between the membrane and the supporting structure and reduce the amount of on-site construction.
