Tensegrity is a relatively new sructural system (about more than 50 years old) based on the use of continuous tension-discontinuous compression. In spite of the controversial principles to define these systems, several examples of tensegrity prototypes constructed in IEDS(Institute of Environment Structure Design) are presented illustrating the feasibility of tensegrity as a lightweight structure. Of course, a much more detailed structural investigation would be necessary, but at least in order to achieve the intended purpose, it is essential to understand the structural principles and the fundamental forces of tensegrity. Once this point Is established, the characteristics of these structures are described, as well as applying them to architecture. Consequently, in this work, the patterns of basic module as well as fundamental definition are introduced. Then, the application of tensegrity to architecture has also been mentioned.

In this paper, a non-linear structural analysis software with pro-processing and post-recessing function is proposed by the author. The software incorporating the functions of the structural analysis and geometrical design of Tensegrity structures. Using this software, Cable Dome is analyzed as a prototype, a comprehensive study on the structural behavior of Tensegrity domes is presented in detail. Design methods of Tensegrity domes were proposed. Based on the analysis, optimizing design was performed. Several new Tensegrity domes with different geometrical design scheme are proposed, the structural analysis of the new schemes is also conducted. The analysis result shows that the proposed new forms of the Tensegrity domes are reasonable for practical applications.

텐서그러티는 연속인장-불연속압축 구성요소에 기반한 상대적으로 새로운 구조시스템이다. 좀 더 상세한 구조적 고찰이 필요하지만, 연구목적에 접근하기 위해서는 최소한 텐서그러티의 구조원리와 근본적인 역학관계를 파악하는 것이 필수적이다. 일단 이점을 확인하고 난 후에, 이러한 구조물의 특성뿐만 아니라 건축에서의 적용성을 다룬다. 그리고 이런 시스템을 규정하는 정의에 이견이 없지는 않으나, 경량구조물로써 텐서그러티의 가능성을 설명하기 위하여 구조디자인연구소(iESD)에서 제작한 텐서그러티 모듈(기본형)의 몇 가지 예를 제시한다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 기본 정의(규정)뿐 아니라 기본 모듈의 유형을 소개하고, 건축에서 텐서그러티 모듈의 변형성과 응용성을 탐색한다.
