- Canopy Structures: Tensile structures are often used to create canopies, awnings, and shade structures for outdoor spaces, such as stadiums, airports, parks, and public gathering areas.
- Tents and Temporary Shelters: Tensile membranes are employed in the construction of tents and temporary shelters for events, exhibitions, and disaster relief.
- Roof Systems: Tensile structures can serve as roofs for buildings, offering a lightweight alternative to traditional roofing materials. They are commonly used in sports facilities, exhibition halls, and atriums.
- Bridges: Some pedestrian and vehicular bridges incorporate tensile elements to achieve longer spans and unique designs.
- Sculptural Art Installations: Tensile structures are often used to create artistic and sculptural installations that push the boundaries of design and engineering.
- Greenhouses: Tensile structures can be used in the construction of greenhouses to provide a controlled environment for plant growth.
- Space Frames: Space frame structures use a combination of tensile and compressive elements to create large, open spaces, such as airport terminals and large exhibition halls.
