Maintenance for Membrane Structures through Membrane Tension Measurement
Membrane structure is a system that is stabilized by maintaining a tensile state of the membrane material that originally cannot resist the bending or pressure. Thus, it is important to accurately understand the size of the membrane tension after the completion of the structure, for maintenance and management purposes. The author of this paper measured the tension of preexisting membrane structure for its maintenance purpose by using the developed portable measurement equipment. Through analyzing the measurement data, the author check the points that should be improved and the technical method for the new maintenance system of membrane tension.
