Once the form is finalized and approved by the client, a structural analysis will take place to examine the structure behaviours when subjected to loads. Loads in tensile structures can be briefed in:
Pre-Stress & Dead Load
Live Load
Wind Load
Snow Load
The challenging task in wind load application is to determine the exact wind coefficients related to the non-standard forms generated by a tensile membrane structure. To ensure the efficiency of the structure, accurate wind coefficients shall be applied. ArchiToile use a specialist CFD software to simulate the wind effect to any non-standard shape.
