TENT STRUCTURES Definition of a Tent Structure: A membrane structure pre-stressed by externally applied forces so that it is held completely taut under all anticipated load conditions. To avoid extremely high tensile forces‚ a membrane structure should have relatively sharp curvatures in opposite direction (Reference: The Visual Dictionary of Architecture‚ Ching). Purpose: The purpose of a tent structure is to provide a means of shelter that is lightweight‚ portable‚

this machine is responsible for sparking an interest in how things work. My love for practical sciences‚ in addition to my innate fascination with technology used for practical and real purposes‚ has enabled me to discern my love for mechanical engineering. As a chubby 11 year old‚ I remember sitting glued to Discovery channel. An episode of the show ‘How it’s made’ featured the process used to create a gumball machine. Awestruck I learnt about the intricate parts that made this miraculous machine
