ABSTRACT:
A sealed joint construction for connecting membrane segments covering a domed framework of rigid trusses. The side edges of adjoining segments are connected to brackets overlying the outer chord of the truss and the segments are tensioned by cables extending between the truss members and along the bottom edges of the segments. The joint is weather sealed by an overlying coextensive membrane strip having tensioning cables in its edges anchored to the foundation and resisting uplift loads on the membrane segments.
