To offer a timely and extensive, research-grounded compendium on structures made with fabrics and foils, the most relevant facets of the state of the art are covered in two sister titles.
Membranes for Structures ― Applications is steeped in fascinating, functional examples: in fact, a selection of detailed case studies is presented in Part Five, and the particular case of spoked wheel structural systems is the subject of Part Six; façades are discussed in Part Seven and the latest application developments in different countries across the globe in Part Eight; part Nine, which concludes the book, is dedicated to replacement re-valorization projects.
The well-amalgamated contributions, authored by international experts, produce a comprehensive reference to keep students and researchers, as well as industry professionals and various other stakeholders abreast with the latest advancements.
