Abstract
The paper discusses the results of research in forming fast erecting pneumatic framework structures with the use of pneumatic rings and spirals. We investigate the description of structures, methods of erecting and dismantling, working features and applying such pneumatic structures as covering with opening ends, wavy vault with transformable semiarches, elastic volume supported by pneumatic pillars, flexible sheathing with pneumatic supporting frame for vault coverings, sheathing for column concreting, elastic funnelled volume, device for assembling rigid building structures. Description of pneumatic structures is illustrated by explanatory schemes and figures.
