ABSTRACT:
The pneumatic structure comprises a pneumatic compression ring having a top cover under tension and being suspended from support columns by means of a cable system, the structure being suitably stiffened. A lower membrane can be attached to the lower portion of the pneumatic compression ring to create an inner space for holding equipment, such as a solar energy collector.
