(1) Large span. With light self-weight and good seismic performance, the membrane structure can be used without internal support, overcoming the difficulties encountered in realizing the traditional structure on large-span (unsupported) buildings, which can create huge unobstructed visual space and effectively increase the space use area.
(2) Artistic. Membrane structure breaks through the traditional type of building structure, based on stylistics and color science, can be combined with natural conditions, give full play to the imagination of architects, according to the creativity to build out the curve and various shapes that are difficult to be realized by the traditional buildings, and rich in color, full of the times, reflecting the beauty of the structural components of the force. With the lighting easy to form a night scene, giving people the enjoyment of modern beauty.
(3) Economy. Membrane material has certain light transmittance, which can reduce the lighting intensity and time during the day and save energy; at night, the colorful lights can form a splendid landscape. Moreover, the membrane structure can be disassembled and easily relocated, especially in the construction of short-term application of large-span buildings, more economical.
(4) Safety. Membrane material has flame retardant and high temperature resistance, which can well meet the fire prevention requirements; membrane structure is a flexible structure, which can withstand great displacement and is not easy to collapse as a whole; membrane structure is light in self-weight and has better seismic performance.
(5) Self-cleaning. Membrane building adopts membrane material with protective coating, which is not sticky, and the dust falling onto the surface of membrane material can rely on the natural rinsing of rainwater to achieve a good self-cleaning effect, and at the same time ensure the service life of the building.
(6) Short construction period. Membrane cutting, steel cable and steel structure and other production are completed in the factory, reducing the site construction time, can be carried out at the same time with the lower part of the reinforced concrete structure or components, to avoid construction intersection, in the construction site is only a steel cable, steel structure and the membrane connection and installation of positioning and tensioning process, so the site construction and installation, quick and fast, compared with the traditional construction works, the duration of a shorter period of time.
(7) Wide application. From the point of view of climatic conditions, the membrane structure building applies to a wide range of geographic areas; from the point of view of scale, it can be as small as a single person tent, garden sketches, and as large as to cover tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of square meters of buildings. Even some people had envisioned to cover a small city, realizing artificial natural
