Use of technical textiles in building engineering

Polazeći od tvrdnje da uporaba tekstila u graditeljstvu nije novost, u radu se ističe da se razvoj na tom području nadograđivao od prirodnih do umjetnih tkanina, kako se mijenjao i sustav gradnje. Pregledno su prikazane vrste vlakana za tehnički tekstil pri čemu su opisane osnovne njihove karakteristike. Primjena tehničkih tekstila u visokogradnji prikazano je na trima vrstama zgrada. Istaknuto je da novi materijali podstiču na nove pristupe u oblikovanju prostora i građevina.Starting from the assertion that the use of textiles in construction is not a novelty, the authors emphasize that developments in this field are marked by transition from natural to artificial types of fabric, and that this transition took place in keeping with the changes in construction systems. Types of technical textile fabrics are presented, and their basic features are described. The use of technical textiles in building engineering is presented on three building types. It is emphasized that new materials encourage use of new approaches in the design and shaping of space and man-made structures
