Webinar to explore elements of fabric structures

Fayetteville, Ark. — To consumers, buildings are a singular item – with all the materials plus construction purchased as a unit. To an engineer, it can be helpful to break the building down to the components and then assemble them — carefully considering each element of the building individually and as part of the whole.

A webinar for engineers on May 1, 2018, at 12:00 p.m. CDT, explores in depth the elements of a fabric structure — including the frame, cladding and foundation. Attendees will leave with concrete knowledge of fabric structures and the engineering principles behind these modern buildings.

Attendees will learn:

• materials used in fabric structure construction;
• architectural features available for fabric buildings;
• factors that determine the quality and longevity of a fabric building;
• comparisons between engineered fabric buildings and engineered metal buildings; and
• how fabric structures are used for a variety of large-scale applications.

Speakers include:

Nathan Stobbe, general manager of Legacy Building Solutions — He has over 15 years of experience in the fabric structure industry and has made significant contributions, including as a member of the original committee for developing CSA S367, the guideline for pre-engineered membrane structures, and as co-founder of the Membrane Structures Manufacturers Association.
