The phenomenon of pneumatic structures -- Pneumatic buildings: structural design alternatives in pneumatically stablised membrane structures -- Examples of pneumatic structures from nature and historical technology -- Examples of pneumatic structures from the technology of today -- Pneuamtic structures: technical details -- On the statics and dimensioning of air supported structures -- Pneumatics structures as form work for shell construction.

Résumé:

This is a handbook for architects and structual engineers, providing the theory behind pneumatics and describing the advantages of being able to construct buildings that cover vast areas inexpensively. Major pneumatic structures throughout the world are examined, as well historical developments. Technical data is included: membrane characteristics, methods of cutting and joining, stabilisation measures, problems of transport and erection. The book contains diagrams which simplify calculations for cylindrical and sperical membranes.
