Overview

This document applies to the design of buildings and structural works, made of structural membrane material. It provides guidance for the design of tensioned membrane structures, either mechanically or pneumatically tensioned at a defined prestress level. This document is concerned with the requirements for resistance, serviceability and durability of tensioned membrane structures, as given in EN 1990. Design and verification in this document are based on limit state design in conjunction with the partial factor method. This document covers analysis methodologies appropriate for tensioned membrane structures, from analytical to full numerical simulation methods. This document considers connections between membrane materials and between membrane materials and others. This document is applicable for hybrid membrane structures integrating different kinds of load bearing behaviour (tension, compression, bending, inflation, etetera), in a way that the structural membrane shares loadbearing capacity with other structural elements made of different materials. The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 005-51-08 AA "Eurocode für Membrantragwerke (SpA zu CEN/TC 250/WG 5)" ("Membrane building construction (mirror committee to CEN/TC 250/WG 5)") at DIN Standards Committee Building and Civil Engineering (NABau).
