现代制造已经允许用于临时和永久的建筑结构的建造扩大使用的高级织物材料。  The types of fabrics and fabric support techniques are diverse, as are the potential construction applications for fabric building systems.  These include standalone portable shelters of all sizes (including storage sheds and hangars), permanent structures with completely fabric roofs (including stadiums and airport terminals), and fabric additions to traditionally constructed buildings, such as awnings and lean-tos.

<跨度风格=“字体大小：12磅;”> <强>温室 被设计以利用太阳辐射来创建一个适当的环境和温度为植物栽培。  Solar radiation heats all greenhouse contents, and the glazing traps the heat generated within the structure.  Even heating of the greenhouse contents mitigates the loss of heat by convection (warm air tends to rise and escape a structure), which is another important functional aspect of a greenhouse.  Greenhouse building components consist of a foundation, framing, glazing, ventilation, utilities and thermal storage systems.  Temporary and portable greenhouses may not require all these components.

<跨度风格=“字体大小：12磅;”> <强>看台和看台 提供座位通常具有室内和室外的旁观者事件几个小时的时间。  Bleachers are terraced rows of bench seats with foot rests.  Grandstands are bleachers or individual seating systems on an elevated platform.  Many grandstand and bleacher systems can be easily relocated if purchased, or rented for specific events.  Permanent installations at fixed interior building locations can be installed with telescopic features, to allow for improved storage and floor cleaning when not in use.    Wood, aluminum and plastics are the most common material selections for bleacher and grandstand seating.

此主题包括设计和构造与空间框架相关信息。  Space frames are a structural lightweight, truss like, geometric frame of metal or wood materials.  The design of a space frame assembly transmits weight loads in multiple directions over the frame.  They are commonly used for large roofs over modern and industrial structures.

此主题包括设计和短程线结构的结构相关的信息。  Geodesic structures have a triangular gridwork of materials that are assembled to create a dome shape structure. Wood, steel frame and concrete materials are commonly used to construct a geodesic structure.

此主题包括设计和构造与日光室相关的信息。  Sunrooms are glazed engineered enclosures assembled on site.  Commonly installed in residential applications, sunrooms extend interior living area to the outdoors.

此主题包括设计和塔的构造相关的信息。  Towers are vertical structures, used in a variety of applications for various reasons.  Fabricated and pre-engineered towers are constructed from metal or wood materials.
