Arch-Supported Membrane Shelters under Wind and Snow Loading
For many years, inflatable structures and membrane-enclosed structures have proved useful for a variety of purposes. Recently, structures that combine highly-pressurised inflatable arch members with light fabric membrane coverings have been developed for use as a variation of such structural systems. These structures could have large openings and be utilised as aircraft hangars, vehicle maintenance shelters, medical aid stations, and emergency shelters following disasters. Two physical models of such structures are tested in this study. First they are placed in wind tunnels at various orientations to the airflow, and their dynamic responses are observed. Then they are subjected to weights simulating snow loads, and the weights are increased until either the material fails or the structure collapses.
