Cable stayed structures, tensegrity structures,
fabric structures and membrane structures are
the common forms of tensile structures. Tensile
structures have become popular as structural
solutions.
The main feature of these structures is the
inherent stability of the tension elements and
the use of form to maximize the tensile nature
of structures.

| Such structures form
the basic component of many other structural solutions
and have become very popular in the last 30-40
years. These structures form a counter point to
traditional arches that gain their strength from
compression. |
