Abstract:

The tensile membrane structures of the Landside Terminal of the new Denver International Airport are the most recent and most significant application of tensile structure design. The advanced structural technology used in the design of the long-span tensile roof over the Great Hall of the main terminal helps create an extraordinary building. This paper describes the design, engineering and construction of the fabric structures.
