Abstract

Tensile structures represent a notable evolution of construction materials, from their incipient construction using fabrics made with natural fibers to fabrics developed with high-performance synthetic fibers, which show the transformation of engineering and the design of new materials. The purpose of this document is to explore the use of composite fabrics in permanent tensile structural systems in Ecuador. Exploratory descriptive research is carried out, which identifies the types of application through a systematic classification. The results obtained focus on the characteristics of the use of tensile structures, construction region and detail of the technical, mechanical and physical characteristics, from the structural element approach in tensioned systems.
