| 20080209819 | Space Containment Method and Containment Structures Comprising the Application of Said Method - The invention relates to a space containment method including the following steps: applying a flexible envelope, which is made from a material that can shrink in an essentially uniform manner, around a support frame, the frame being an assembly of frame elements; and subjecting the envelope to the effects of a suitable physical phenomenon in order to generate the shrinkage thereof. Following contraction, the envelope tightly hugs the support frame, thereby stiffening the containment structure thus obtained. | 09-04-2008 |
