The master thesis is related to design of a prestressed membrane structure for a bicycle parking in
front of the Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering of University of Ljubljana. We start with a
brief general presentation of prestressed membrane structures and their structural elements. We
describe the processes of form finding, nonlinear static analysis and cutting patterns determination.
Next, we focus on design of a particular prestressed membrane structure. The presented design of
prestressed membrane comprises conceptual design, form finding and detailed analysis. We continue
with design of supporting structure, connection details and the foundation. Finally, the membrane
cutting pattern was computed on the basis of the membrane geometry and connection details. All the
constructing phases are presented as well. Lastly, considering the materials list and general drawings,
the project was financially evaluated.
