Preface
This book is the result of 5 years of research focused on the progressive organisation of the expertise in technical textiles developed within numerous international companies and research institutions on the mechanical characterisation of architectural fabrics for structural applications. The research was supported by Politecnico di Milano and gave an essential contribution to the development of the new testing laboratory for technical textiles clusTEX. The first objective of the research is the development of an exhaustive description of the current design practice and manufacturing techniques for membrane structures. The study considers the testing standards available, the materials employed, the software developed in this field and the modalities for fabrication
