Abstract-Tensioned fabric structure in the form of Enneper minimal surface can be considered as a sustainable development for the green environment and technology, it also can be used to support the effectiveness used of energy and the structure. Sustainable development of tensioned fabric green structure in the form of Enneper minimal surface has been studied. The combination of shape and internal forces for the purpose of stiffness and strength is an important feature of fabric surface. For this purpose, form-finding using nonlinear analysis method has been carried out for Enneper minimal surface models with variables u=v=0.6 and u=v=1.0. Pattern of prestress in the resulting fabric surface has been studied. Enneper minimal surface models with variables u=v=0.6 and u=v=1.0 with fabric type A provides an alternative choice for practicing engineers to consider the tensioned fabric green structure in the form of Enneper minimal surface applied in the construction industry. It is expected to reduce the construction cost, shorten the construction time and improve the construction quality.Index Terms-Tensioned fabric structure, minimal surface, form-finding.

Abstract. Form-finding has to be carried out for tensioned fabric structure in order to determine the initial equilibrium shape under prescribed support condition and prestress pattern. Tensioned fabric structures are normally designed to be in the form of equal tensioned surface. Tensioned fabric structure is highly suited to be used for realizing surfaces of complex or new forms. However, research study on a new form as a tensioned fabric structure has not attracted much attention. Another source of inspiration minimal surface which could be adopted as form for tensioned fabric structure is very crucial. The aim of this study is to propose initial equilibrium shape of tensioned fabric structures in the form of Chen-Gackstatter. Computational form-finding using nonlinear analysis method is used to determine the Chen-Gackstatter form of uniformly stressed surfaces. A tensioned fabric structure must curve equally in opposite directions to give the resulting surface a three dimensional stability. In an anticlastic doubly curved surface, the sum of all positive and all negative curvatures is zero. This study provides an alternative choice for structural designer to consider the Chen-Gackstatter applied in tensioned fabric structures. The results on factors affecting initial equilibrium shape can serve as a reference for proper selection of surface parameter for achieving a structurally viable surface.

Tensioned Fabric Structure (TFS) is structure that is composed of tensioned fabric as structural members. The form of Thomsen surface applied in TFS has been developed in this study because the form of Thomsen surface has not been studied by others researcher. The objective of this study is to determine initial equilibrium shape in Thomsen form and cable reinforced of Thomsen surface in TFS with variable u=v=0.8 using nonlinear analysis method. The surface of Thomsen surface, u=v=0.8 shows the least square error of total warp and fill stress deviation is less than 0.01. From the result, initial equilibrium shape in Thomsen form and cable reinforced of Thomsen surface, u=v=0.8 is corresponding to equal tension surface. In conclusion, Thomsen form and cable reinforced of Thomsen surface with variable u=v=0.8 will provide an alternative shape for designer to be considered for adopted in tensioned fabric structure.
