Abstract: For the difficulties of fire protection caused by the application of tensioned cable- membrane structure on airport terminal, the fire protection schemes were put forward by aspects of fire separation, evacuation, fire protection facilities and combustion characteristics of membrane materials, which was based on the architectural function, fuel distribution of airport terminal and characteristics of membrane structure. The feasibility of fire protection design was verified with numerical simulation and formula calculation, which can provide reference for similar engineering design.

Key words: airport terminal, membrane structure, fire protection design, performance analysis
