Glass Fiber and Tensile Membrane- Water Cube (World's Largest Membrane Structure )

In the 1970s, the US Pavilion and the Fuji Pavilion at the Osaka World Expo in Japan used tensile and structural materials. In the following decades, the architectural membrane structure has developed rapidly. Most of the membrane structure is composed of steel and cable membrane structure, and the membrane combined with the structure is gradually becoming functional and intelligent. The membrane structural material has the advantages of light and free shape, beautiful appearance, light transmission, energy saving, environmental protection, excellent flame retardant performance, anti-fouling self-cleaning performance, safety and long service life. Based on these advantages, architectural membranes stand out, and the membrane structure is called “21st Century Architecture” and is used in large stadiums, entrance corridors, shopping malls, casinos, parking lots, exhibition venues, plant sightseeing parks and other buildings.
The "Bird's Nest" and "Water Cube" membrane steel truss structures of the Beijing Olympic Games venues use ETFE membranes, which is currently the largest ETFE membrane steel truss structure in China, and the membranes are imported. The "Bird's Nest" adopts a double-layer membrane steel truss structure, the outer layer is protected by ETFE rain and snow, and the inner layer is made of PTFE for heat preservation, anti-condensation, sound insulation and light effect. "Water Cube" adopts double-layer ETFE inflatable membrane structure, a total of 1437 air cushions, each of which looks like a "water bubble". The air pillow can adjust the opacity and light transmission by controlling the amount of inflation. The use of natural light, energy saving, and good thermal insulation, eliminate echo, provide a warm and comfortable environment for athletes and spectators.
As a membrane steel  truss structure with great influence in the world, the Water Cube can be said to have added a lot of color in the history of China's membrane structure industry, setting a curtain for the rapid development of the domestic membrane steel truss structure industry.
