Apply a force to (something) that tends to stretch it
(tensioning) Pulling the conductors to the correct sag so that proper ground clearance is maintained. Also insures that supporting structures are not overloaded under ice and wind.
(Tensioning) The process of spinning a blade core to certain tolerances allowing it to spin straight.

A textile is a flexible material consisting of a network of natural or artificial fibres often referred to as thread or yarn. Yarn is produced by spinning raw wool fibres, linen, cotton, or other material on a spinning wheel to produce long strands.
Cloth, typically produced by weaving or knitting textile fibers
artifact made by weaving or felting or knitting or crocheting natural or synthetic fibers; "the fabric in the curtains was light and semitransparent"; "woven cloth originated in Mesopotamia around 5000 BC"; "she measured off enough material for a dress"
The walls, floor, and roof of a building
The body of a car or aircraft
framework: the underlying structure; "providing a factual framework for future research"; "it is part of the fabric of society"
The Tensioned Fabric Roof
The Tensioned Fabric Roof describes the state-of-the-art design of fabric tension structures. The fundamentals of a fabric structure's design and construction as required by engineers, contractors, and architects are presented. The book discusses the unusual character of the fabric structure industry and its implications for how structures are marketed, designed, and constructed. Included are chapters on the fundamentals of membrane behavior, the possibilities and limitations in roof form, fabric materials, analytical techniques, structural details, fabrication and erection, and non-structural design parameters that include daylighting, energy use, acoustics, and fire safety. Written by an experienced practitioner of fabric structure design, this book methodically addresses all aspects of the design and construction process. Structural engineers will gain an understanding of shaping, analysis, and design of members and connections; architects will learn the possibilities and limitations in fabric roof form, as well as the means of achieving successful energy, lighting, acoustical, and fire safety performance; and contractors will receive invaluable information related to their fabrication and erection. Book includes special 24-page color insert.

Post-tensioning is the most versatile form of pre stressing, a technique which enables engineers to make the most effective use of the material properties of concrete, and so to design structural elements which are strong, slender and efficient. Design in post-tensioned concrete is not difficult and, if done properly, can contribute significantly to the economy and the aesthetic qualities of a building. Post-tensioned floors have found widespread use in office buildings and car park structures, and are also frequently employed in warehouses and public buildings. However, in spite of this, most prestressed concrete texts devote comparatively little attention to floors, concentrating instead on beam elements. This book answers the need for a comprehensive treatment of post-tensioned floor design.
