Architectural Tensile Membrane Structure Installation
RAACO delivered a turnkey architectural tensile membrane structure engineered to shelter open-air courtyards and pedestrian boulevards in a major mixed-use urban development.
The engineering leveraged cutting-edge computational form-finding and non-linear finite element modeling to guarantee uniform pre-tension stress distribution across all masts and stay cables.
Key project parameters:
- Self-cleaning multi-layer PVDF architectural fabric engineered to shed dust effortlessly during natural rainfall.
- High-strength galvanized wire rope rigging with calibrated stainless steel turnbuckles and fork fittings.
- Deep reinforced concrete footing pedestals designed specifically to counteract significant wind uplift forces.
