Sumario:Progress is being made in the understanding of the appropriateness of membrane structures that are much more efficient than bending solutions based on trusses and cantilevers. But many designs do not take it into account to the point that membrane structures frequently end up being covered conventional steel structures. However many designs assume an appropriate design based on lightness, avoiding bending by following the load paths with the right combination of curvature and depth.
