Book synopsis

This book offers a well-structured, critical review of the current design practice for tensioned membrane structures, with detailed analysis of the experimental data required and critical issues relating to the absence of a set of design codes and testing procedures. The technical requirements for biaxial testing equipment are analyzed in detail, and aspects that need to be considered when developing biaxial testing procedures are emphasized. The analysis is supported by presentation of the results of a round-robin exercise comparing biaxial test machines that involved four of the main research laboratories in the field. Biaxial testing devices and procedures presently used in Europe are extensively discussed, and information is included on the design and realization of a biaxial testing rig for architectural fabrics at Politecnico di Milano, which will represent a benchmark in the field. The significance of the most recent developments in biaxial testing is also explored.
