On the Upper Limits for the Height of Inflated Towers

Authors: Ruslan Sharipov

The height of buildings is limited by the weight and the strength of constructive materials. Inflated structures are considered as a prospective technology for constructing super-tall buildings, including those reaching the boundary of the cosmic space. The goal of the present paper is to derive and compute theoretical estimates for the upper limit of the height of an inflated cylindrical structure subdivided into segments designed in such a way that they practically do not load each other transmitting all of their weight to the basement through the gas inside them.
