Tensegrity in Tensile Forces Structures

Abstract

The world witnesses in this period of time the appearance of various structural concepts. Technology and other factors helped in the development of many architectural forms that carried technological character manifested through efficiency, lightness, most of these forms are tensile structures. In spite of the fact that the use of tensile structures is still in doubt and suspicion, they started to appear in Arab countries and neighbouring regions, after they had been affected by the technological achievements of the technologically developed countries, and started to use such structures in their local buildings, especially if the factors needed to adapt such kind of
structures are present on their lands, also the minds that can deal with such structures with
special forces. The scientific fields had discovered a lot of in this field, but there is a gap in
dealing with principles and concepts of this force and its products. This had formed our research problem. So, the study depends on describtive-analytical method in dealing with one of the
basic concepts and thier biological bases which aim to give an imagination about tensile forces related to this subject -this is tensigrity concept- and its role in achieving architecture modern. The research concluded many points that throw some light on the subject of tensigrity
of tensile forces stryucture.
