Jürgen Hennicke [1] challenged the designers of structural membranes stating that "Structural membranes, if not designed as such, require an imposing steel structure". Responding to this challenge, a comparative study has been launched to assess the impact on the design efficiency of considering or not the structural principles of membranes, that are: only tension, funicularity, curvature and pre-stress. In a previous paper (J.Llorens, 2023 [2]) the general approach of the research and the first results have been presented. This paper shows more cases to complete the most usual repertoire.

Abstract

Jürgen Hennicke [1] challenged the designers of structural membranes stating that "Structural membranes, if not designed as such, require an imposing steel structure". Responding to this challenge, a comparative study has been launched to assess the impact on the design efficiency of considering or not the structural principles of membranes, that are: only tension, funicularity, curvature and pre-stress. In a previous paper (J.Llorens, 2023 [2]) the general approach of the research and the first results have been presented. This paper shows more cases to complete the most usual repertoire.
