Publication Date: 1987

Tension structures--structures whose members transmit loads to supports by tensile stresses--can be made of cables, membranes, or both. They include air-support structures, pneumatic shells, prestressed membranes, cable networks, tethers, suspension cables, guyed towers and tents, ocean platforms, and breakwaters. This comprehensive book presents a timely and thorough evaluation of these important structures.
