Abstract: A pressure tight large-scaled membrane structure includes a bag body having a plurality of gores attached to each other along an attachment line, and a plurality of first ropes attached over a predetermined range of the bag body in such a manner as to be orthogonal to the attachment line of the gores, whereby a cylindrical shaped portion is formed. The cylindrical shaped portion has a substantially circular cross-sectional area that is a maximum substantially circular cross-section of the bag body and the plurality of first ropes each having approximately the same length as a circumference of the substantially circular-cross section having a maximum area with respect to the bag body.
