Factors affecting the cost of membrane structure parking sheds

The extensive use of membrane structure carpark sheds has begun to make people think about its cost. The membrane structure carport itself has excellent performance and low maintenance costs, but if the scope of use is relatively wide, it is necessary to consider its overall cost. Next we look at several factors that affect the cost of membrane structure carports:

The first aspect: equipment functional requirements.

Generally, the more functions required by the carport, the higher the cost of the membrane structure carport, including the later maintenance costs, will naturally be higher. At the same time, cost issues will be involved in every link from design to construction to use, and design costs must be increased during production. Therefore, the functional requirements of equipment will affect the cost of the membrane structure carport.

The second aspect: the selection of the design plan.

When it comes to the cost of the membrane structure carport, what should be thought of at the beginning is its design plan, because the construction process of a building is carried out from the original design plan. The cost of the membrane structure caused by different design schemes is also different. Basically, once the design scheme is selected, its cost will basically not change much.

The third aspect: construction norms and construction scale.

The membrane structure carport with relatively high construction standards, because all links must meet the requirements of my country's relevant standards, so the corresponding cost will be increased during the construction. At the same time, the larger the scale of the parking shed, the higher the cost. Therefore, when constructing the membrane structure carport, every link from the selection of materials, the design of the scheme to the later construction must be considered, and the scale of construction should be reduced as much as possible on the basis of meeting actual needs.

The fourth aspect: regional differences.

General parking sheds have different requirements for their functional appearance in different places. Similarly, for membrane structure carports built in different regions, because of the difference in labor costs and building materials used, the cost will be higher. s difference. Relatively speaking, the cost in more developed regions will be much higher than that in less developed regions.

The above four aspects are the main factors affecting the cost of membrane structure carports. From them, we can see that membrane structure carports want to reduce costs, from site selection, initial design, the entire construction process to the final use and subsequent maintenance Have a certain impact on the cost. Therefore, comprehensive considerations must be taken during construction.

In the season of strong winds, most large cities often worry about the risks of strong winds and typhoons when considering the structure of inflatable membranes. Can the inflatable membrane structure withstand the pressure generated by strong wind? Can the problems of compression resistance, seismic resistance and strong wind resistance be handled?

Many people think that the inflatable membrane is like an outdoor tent, and it looks weak and weak. But in fact, this is not the case. When the inflatable membrane structure is constructed in typhoon-prone areas, the inflatable membrane structure manufacturer will tailor the plan design and engineering construction plan to ensure that the inflatable membrane structure is not inferior to China. traditional building.

Therefore, in contrast to traditional Chinese architecture, although it looks weak and weak, the concrete "externally rigid and internally flexible" can maintain its stand tall in a typhoon. The inflatable membrane has its own unique wind-resistant and firm method. Let me give you a detailed explanation:

Wind resistance method 1: high flexibility and modifier tensile properties of architectural membrane raw materials.

The inflatable membrane structure engineering building is basically the same as the general outdoor tent in everyone's impression, and it is soft and vulnerable. In fact, one of the reasons why inflatable membranes are often less harmed by typhoons is the softness of the high-toughness architectural membranes they choose. The softness of the membrane raw material as a building decoration material makes the inclined surface design of the inflatable membrane very possible, and the air resistance undertaken by the inclined surface design structure can be minimized. In typhoon-prone areas, select membrane materials with relatively resilient and high tensile strength to improve the compressive strength of the membrane structure.

Anti-wind method two: effective overall planning and design solutions adapted to current conditions

Before building an inflatable membrane structure engineering building, we will thoroughly understand the requirements of the owner, and then we will check and master the local climatic conditions and materials. According to the main parameters of the inflatable membrane to be built on the spot, the relative membrane raw materials and the plan are selected.

Wind resistance method 3: Intelligent system real-time monitoring system adjustment automatic control system.

Each new project of inflatable membrane is equipped with an intelligent system of real-time monitoring system adjustment automatic control system. The automatic system software will adjust the internal standard air pressure of the air film with the change of external wind speed to resist the harm of wind speed. According to the adjustment of its own standard air pressure, the harm of typhoon will be reduced to less. Inflatable membranes are even stronger than some engineering buildings that generally look like copper walls and iron walls.

Which is your favorite among membrane structure buildings? It is believed that many people have seen membrane structure parking sheds. So if you want a membrane structure carport that looks good and has good quality that can be used for a long time, what are the points to pay attention to?

The first thing we have to think about is the function request of the fabric structure carport canopy. The main basic function of the membrane structure carport is to protect from the rain. In order to keep up with the future development speed, the most important shade structure carport project should adopt the fire protection function and be configured to provide solar energy. It should also be good self-cleaning property.

Then think about the basic requirements of steel. Some units of membrane structure carports with smaller embedded parts are not thoughtful requests, which may result in a large number of unpredictable risks in future use.

Finally, pay attention to the technical parameters of the membrane structure of the carport. Regardless of whether the membrane structure of the carport is selected from domestic or imported membrane materials, the same type of membrane material has different technical parameters for selection. For example, the thickness and color of the domestic fabric can be selected, and various accessories can also be selected. The technical parameters of these membrane materials should be selected according to the project needs, environmental water, pressure resistance and other requirements.

How much do you know about inflatable membrane structure

What is the air-supported structures?

Inflatable membrane structure is a kind of structure or component that uses high-performance membrane material as the building "shell". The pressure difference between the inside and outside of the membrane generates tension on the membrane surface to form a certain stable shape and load-bearing capacity structure or component. The inflatable membrane structure should have a closed inflatable space, and an inflatable device for maintaining internal pressure should be provided to ensure the rigidity of the membrane structure system and maintain the designed shape. Inflatable membrane structures can be divided into four categories according to the different formation methods of the enclosed space in the membrane: air-bearing membrane structure, air-ribbed membrane structure, air pillow-type membrane structure and air-bag membrane structure.

Classification of inflatable membrane structures.

1. Air-bearing membrane structure: The membrane surface itself does not form a closed curved surface, and its periphery is fixed on a rigid boundary or foundation. The enclosed space is formed by the membrane surface, the surrounding closed boundary and the indoor ground. The air-bearing membrane structure supports the membrane surface through the air pressure inside the building to form the main body of the building. There is no need for any frame and beam support indoors, but airtightness must be maintained to maintain indoor air pressure. The commonly used shapes of air-bearing membrane structures are spherical and cylindrical (Figure 1, Figure 2).

2. Air-ribbed membrane structure: The membrane surface itself forms a closed curved surface and a confined space, and the shape is usually tubular. The pressurized gas acts on the membrane surface and can form a self-balancing system. The indoor space of the air-ribbed membrane structure does not need to be airtight, and people are relatively free to enter and exit (Figure 3).

3. Air pillow membrane structure: generally refers to a structural system composed of multiple air pillow units. The membrane surface of each air pillow unit forms a closed curved surface and a closed space, and its periphery is fixed on a rigid frame (Figure 4).

4. Airbag membrane structure: The membrane surface itself forms a closed curved surface and a closed space. The shape is a capsule with a large size. The entire structure can be composed of one capsule. The internal pressurized gas acts on the membrane surface, and the structure itself can be formed. The self-balancing system can also be fixed on the periphery or supported on a rigid boundary. (Figure 5)

The above-mentioned four types of inflatable membrane structures are common forms in current engineering. Of course, with the development of science and technology and technological progress, more and more novel and efficient inflatable membrane structures may be created in engineering practice.

Recently, with the completion of the last process on site, the ETFE membrane structure of the professional football field of the Phoenix Mountain Sports Park project was successfully capped. This is also the largest single-layer ETFE membrane structure used worldwide-27000 SQM.

The membrane structure used in the professional football stadium roof of the Phoenix Mountain Sports Park project is novel and beautiful. The membrane material has an unfolded area of about 27,000 square meters, which is the largest single-layer ETFE membrane structure currently used in the world.

The roof membrane structure of the football field consists of an inner ring membrane and an outer ring membrane (main cable part). A total of 200 ETFE membranes were used during the installation process.

Among them, the inner ring membrane is attached to the chord of the inner ring truss, and the single diaphragm is about 15 square meters, which is similar to a parallelogram; the cable dome structure is arranged in a sunflower shape, with a total of 2 ring cables and 80 radial cables. Cable, 40 struts are set per circle. The cable net membrane surface is equally distributed in diamonds and triangles. The area of the rhombus is about 22 square meters, and the area of the triangle is about 140 square meters.

Phoenix Mountain Sports Park is located in Dujianian Area, Jinniu District, Chengdu. As the core venue of the 31st Summer Universiade in Chengdu in 2021 and the main stadium of the 18th Asian Cup in Chengdu in 2023, it is a thorough implementation of the Chengdu Municipal Committee and Municipal Government The overall strategic plan for the construction of "three cities and three capitals" is a major project for accelerating the pace of construction of world-famous competition cities.

The project covers an area of about 330 acres, with a planned total construction area of about 456,000 square meters, and consists of "one site, one museum and supporting commerce". The “one game” is a professional football field with 60,000 seats that meets FIFA standards, and the “one hall” is a comprehensive stadium with 18,000 seats that meets NBA standards. The supporting commercial building area is about 128,000 square meters. After the project is completed, it will have the function of undertaking top international competitions and top domestic leagues, and become an international top competition center, sports professional training center, sports culture exchange center, sports industry development center and an important landmark building in Chengdu.

Because Malaysia is located near the equator, it has a tropical rainforest climate and a tropical monsoon climate. There are no obvious four seasons. The temperature difference during the year is very small. The average temperature is between 26 ℃ and 30 ℃, and the rainfall is abundant throughout the year.

Summer is coming. In the hot weather, the swimming pool becomes a good place for people to cool off; for swimming pools, our membrane structure awning is the most suitable.

Swimming Pool Tensile Structure Advantage: 
 
1. Energy-saving: Membrane with good light transmission (Generally 10-20%). In daylight, fabric membrane translucency offers soft diffused naturally lit spaces reducing the interior lighting costs while at night, artificial lighting creates an ambient exterior luminescence. 
 
2. Artistic: Tensile architecture structures are based on styling and chromatics. It can be combined with local natural conditions and ethnic customs, and be designed with It’s own unique design. 
 
3. Economical: Swimming pool have a large span space. Tensile shade Awings are cost-function. It’s only about one-half of the traditional architecture. 
 
4. Self-cleaning: Outdoor shade sails is UV-proof, coated with PVC/PVDF/PTFE, it is not easy to adhere to dust and can be cleaned by rinsing with rain water. 
 
5. Safety: Fabrics construction have light weight, even if accidental collapse occurs, risk is much smaller than that of the traditional construction structure. 

The  tensile fabric membrane creates a new flexible architectural style, and the high-performance membrane material has the characteristics of light weight and good mechanical properties, making it possible for large-span column-free building spaces. Therefore, under certain conditions, membrane structure is an ideal choice that can greatly enrich the appearance of the building.

The basic characteristics and advantages of tensile membrane structure parking shade

With the improvement of the quality of life, our pursuit of the quality of life is getting higher and higher. Now, for the convenience of going out, more and more people become car owners, some of whom own more than one car. So, since there are more and more cars, there must be a car park shade . After all, housing parking lots are too expensive, labor-intensive, and can't take up space. Therefore, a good membrane structure parking garage is very important.

Membrane structure is a new type of building. Its shape is very unique and beautiful. It is a structural system that combines architecture and structure. It mainly uses high-strength flexible film materials and auxiliary structures to generate a certain internal pre-tensioning stress. Under stress control A certain spatial shape is formed, as the covering structure or main body of the building, with sufficient rigidity to resist external loads, and the design of the carport gradually adopts a membrane structure to make people's lives more convenient.

Membrane structure is a structural system composed of buildings and structures. It is mainly composed of high-strength, flexible film materials combined with a supporting system to form a stable surface, which has strong rigidity and can withstand certain external forces. Its shape is free and light, non-combustible, easy to manufacture, fast installation, energy saving, easy to use, safe, etc., so it has been widely used in the world. This structural form is especially suitable for fields such as stadiums, population corridors, leisure squares, exhibition venues, shopping centers, etc.

Secondly, the shape of the membrane structure parking garage is changeable. The supporting structure and flexible film materials make the architectural shape more diversified, novel and beautiful. At the same time, it can show the beauty of the structure and the colors are diverse. It can create more free architectural forms and richer buildings. Language. In addition, the weight of the membrane structure roof is only 1:30 that of the traditional steel roof, thus reducing the cost of the wall. At the same time, the unique shape and night scene effect of the membrane structure has obvious "building recognizability" and commercial effects, and its cost-effectiveness is relatively high. The film has high reflectivity, low light absorption and low thermal conductivity, which to a large extent prevents solar energy from entering the room. The translucency of the film material ensures proper natural diffused light to illuminate the room.

Because of its light weight, thin-film buildings can actually be covered by a large-span space without internal support, so that people can design and use architectural spaces flexibly and creatively.
