Course Overview

  • With the growing importance of modern architecture, membrane structures have gained popularity.
  • Membrane structures design requires more expertise beyond the conventional engineer’s scope.
  • As the name says, it deals more with the analysis of the membranes where membranes were least covered in the civil engineer’s practice.
  • The main aim of this course on membrane structures is to impart knowledge and proficiency to the students so that they can design lightweight structures to meet the rising demand of modern architecture.
  • The concepts covered in this course include
    • Overview, History & Evolution 
    • Conceptual Understanding of FEM Elements 
    • Introduction to RFEM Program 
    • Form Finding Methods 
    • Implementation on RFEM 
    • Materials 
    • Structural Analysis

Industry Projects in Mumbai

Our projects are designed by experts in the industry to reflect industry standards. By working through our projects, Learners will gain a practical understanding of what they will take on at a larger-scale in the industry. In total, there are 2 Projects that are available in this program.

Perform Form-finding and Structural Analysis Structure of Multiple Masts

This project will teach the students, how to find the geometric position of a membrane where the surface stress is in equilibrium with the natural and geometric boundary conditions.

Model a Membrane Roof with Cables

In this project, the students will be asked to model using form-finding tools and create the cutting patterns for a structure. This will help them to gain knowledge on planar cutting patterns when a structure is subjected to prestress.
