Elements of Fabric Structures

To the consumer, buildings are a singular item – with all the materials plus construction purchased as a unit. To the engineer, it can be helpful to break the building down to the components and then assemble them – carefully considering each element of the building individually and as part of the whole.

This webinar is for the engineer. The elements of a fabric structure – including the frame, cladding and foundation – will be examined in depth. Attendees will leave with concrete knowledge of fabric structures and the engineering principles behind these modern buildings.

You will learn:

• The materials used in fabric structure construction
• Architectural features available for fabric buildings
• Factors that determine the quality and longevity of a fabric building
• Comparisons between engineered fabric buildings and engineered metal buildings
• How fabric structures are used for a variety of large-scale applications
