Design and Analysis of the Membrane Structure

摘要

The article deals with problems in designing and analyzing the membrane structure of a stadium roof. Attention is especially given to problems relating to the optimal design of the shape of the membrane (form finding) and the supporting cable system with respect to static behavior, functionality and architectural appearance. The work was carried out with respect to the companies Ing. Software Dlubal, s.r.o. and FEM consulting, s.r.o. intention to develop a new module of the RFEM program system capable of ascertaining the initial shape of a roof’s membrane construction and also its analysis for both static and dynamic wind loads.
