In general, tension membrane structures are classified geometrically by using Gaussian curvature into two types, that is saddle type and horn type. Horn type membrane structures has considerably favorable characteristics from the view points of structural rationality and aethetical expression. And new system of hybrid membrane structures which are named as Hanger type and Unit type are proposed here obtained by combining the horn shape membrane with such rigid and light frames as the arches and the single layer truss domes. In this paper, a basic research on the forming of initial surface, the stress relaxation, the statical behavior due to wind and snow load and the comparison of analytical model are described through the numerical and experimental analysis for the single panel model (5m×5m).
