With the continuous advancement of science and technology, building materials are also constantly being updated. In this process, the emergence of ETFE membrane structure has attracted great attention. This new building material has high light transmittance, durability and environmental friendliness, and is widely used in various construction fields. Today, we would like to introduce the building envelope ETFE membrane structure of the National Aquatics Center "Water Cube".
The National Aquatics Center "Water Cube" is one of the landmark buildings of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games in China, and its building envelope is made of ETFE membrane material. ETFE film is a fluoroplastic product with excellent light transmittance, weather resistance, ultraviolet resistance and tensile strength. The application of this membrane material in the construction field can not only improve the appearance and performance of the building, but also reduce the cost and maintenance cost of the building.
The FE membrane structure of the "Water Cube" adopts a unique construction method, combining the membrane material with the steel frame to form an architectural shape that is both traditional and modern. This structure not only has a high resistance to wind loads, but also can effectively prevent problems such as water penetration and condensation, ensuring the stability and durability of the building.
ETFE membrane materials also have extremely high environmental performance in the application of "Water Cube". This material can be reused without polluting the environment. In addition, the ETFE membrane material has excellent light transmission performance, which can effectively use natural light and reduce the energy consumption of the building. At the same time, this material also has good thermal insulation properties, which can effectively reduce the energy consumption of buildings.
In short, the "Water Cube" building envelope ETFE membrane structure is a new building material with high-tech content, high durability and high environmental protection. The application of this material can not only improve the performance and appearance of the building, but also reduce the cost of construction and maintenance. In the future, the ETFE membrane structure will be applied and developed in more construction fields.
