There are two main types of pressurized structure but really unambiguous descriptions of them do not yet exist: (a) those that are held up by ribs or inflated "tyres" and therefore do not need an air lock to allow inward or outward access; (b) those that do need an air lock, have no inflated ribs and therefore must be held up by an internal air pressure slightly above atmospheric .... The ribbed structures are called "air inflated" and the non-ribbed ones "air supported".  6, record 1, English, - air%2Dinflated%20structure

L'expression structure gonflable s’applique à toute structure déformable, dont la rigidité dépend uniquement de la pression intérieure. [...] Un grand nombre d’objets répondent à cette définition, tels que les pneus, bateaux pneumatiques, ballons, structures à ossature gonflable, à double paroi, et à simple paroi.  1, record 1, French, - structure%20%C3%A0%20ossature%20gonflable

Il existe divers types de structures gonflables : l’enveloppe entièrement close, amarrée par un filet et soutenue par la surpression de l’espace interne; la couverture solidaire du sol en périphérie [...]; la couverture fixée à une ossature gonflable. Sauf dans le dernier type où l’espace n’est pas surpressé, l’accès se fait par un sas ou par une porte tournante.  3, record 1, French, - structure%20%C3%A0%20ossature%20gonflable

... in Pneumatic Architecture structural stability is the product of the release of internal environmental energy (air or gas pressure) within a membrane or bag (generally made of PVC coated nylon). Pneumatic Architecture is therefore a sub-category of pressurized construction (water or other liquids can also be used to pressurize). Three main types of Pneumatic structures are identified: air-inflated, air-supported, and air-controlled.  5, record 2, English, - pneumatic%20structure

Pneumatics can be sub-divided into the two main categories of air-stabilised structures and air-controlled structures ... Air -stabilised construction can be further sub-divided into two distinct classes of structure: single wall air-supported and dual wall air-inflated structures ...  4, record 2, English, - pneumatic%20structure

L'expression structure gonflable s’applique à toute structure déformable, dont la rigidité dépend uniquement de la pression intérieure. Celle-ci crée dans la structure souple une pré-tension suffisante pour que, sous les efforts extérieurs, toutes les parties de la structure restent en tension.

Air-inflated enclosures are completely supported by pressurized air entrapped within membranes. There are two main types, inflated-rib structures and inflated dual-wall structures.... In inflated dual walled construction, pressurized air is trapped between two concentric membranes. The shape of the inner membrane is maintained by suspending it from the outer one.  1, record 3, English, - inflated%20dual%2Dwall%20structure

Air-inflated enclosures are completely supported by pressurized air entrapped within membranes. There are two main types, inflated-rib structures and inflated dual-wall structures. In inflated-rib construction, the membrane enclosure is supported by a framework of air-pressurized tubes, which serve much like arch ribs in thin-shell construction.  1, record 4, English, - inflated%2Drib%20structure
