Synopsis

Devoted mainly to large-scale retractable roof structures (such as those used in sporting arenas), this work distills the findings of the International Association of Shell and Spatial Structures' working group report. Two kinds of systems are discussed non-collapsible rigid frame types and folding membrane types such as tents and pneumatics. Also
