With its novel and unique shape and superior performance, the membrane structure has been invincible in the field of architecture, and has attracted countless attention. In addition, there are many advantages, such as a very short construction period, I believe that many people will have questions at this time: how is the membrane structure made? This article is aimed at: “about the whole process of membrane structure engineering” to give you a brief sharing, so that you have an understanding of this, please follow the editor of Yexing membrane structure company to take a look.

1. Design
Due to the variety of membrane structures, there are many solutions for its connection structure. The membrane structure design mainly includes four major problems, such as body shape design, initial equilibrium shape analysis, load analysis, and clipping analysis. Determine the shape size, three-dimensional shape and clearance volume of the building plane through the body shape design, determine the coordinates and structural form of each control point, and select the membrane material and construction plan;
The connection structure of the membrane structure design is an important part. The cable and membrane components must be effectively connected with the supporting structure and foundation through the connecting parts to ensure the balance and stability of the structural system, so the connection structure must be safe, reasonable and beautiful.

2. Processing
Usually, after cutting, the membrane needs to be connected through the seam to form a membrane unit, and the main stress seam between the membrane materials should be heat-sealed. Connections between membrane elements can be wired, clamped or bolted. In addition, the membrane material must be connected with the supporting skeleton, steel cables and concrete or steel edge members, which are generally completed by special fixtures and connectors. Cable end anchoring is an important part of force transmission in the membrane structure, and its end connections can be made by screw or connecting ring, casting or crimping. The connection between the membrane structure and the foundation can adopt a cable anchor system, including gravity anchors, disc anchors, mushroom anchors, friction piles, tensile piles, resistance walls and other types.

3. Construction
Membranes are usually processed in-house, with strict requirements on the manufacturing site to keep the membranes clean. The production of membrane structure should go through material inspection, cutting, heat sealing and packaging processes, and the dimensional deviation after cutting and heat sealing is specified in the regulations, and the strength and production quality of the heat sealing seam are also required.
After the membrane unit is transported to the construction site, it should be continuously installed in place and fixed to the supporting member. An important process during installation is to apply pretension to the membrane structure step by step through concentrated force points, so that the membrane surface is gradually subjected to tension and formed. At present, there is no reliable detection method for whether the membrane surface reaches the designed pretension, and in practice, only whether the displacement of the force application point reaches the design value as the control standard, and the force value sampling should be carried out for the representative force application point.
Special reminder: Although the membrane structure has excellent performance, it is also necessary to pay more attention to maintenance to extend its service life.

Yexing membrane structure company strictly implements systematic management, in the past 17 years, there are no quality and safety accidents, no labor dispute cases, the company has established a safety and quality inspection department, responsible for supervising various work, processes in strict accordance with national standards construction, step by step acceptance. Always in line with the principle of “taking the safety and quality of customers as the first and saving the maximum cost for customers as the pursuit”, it has been unanimously praised by customers.
