Measurement of Wind Loads on Large-Scale Air-Supported Shelters
Wind tunnel tests on a double-wall and a single-wall air-supported shelter are described. Included is a description of the test facility, test items and instrumentation. The procedures used for data acquisition and reduction are discussed. Results are presented in terms of aerodynamic load coefficients, pressure distribution, anchor loads and spectra of the shelter acceleration and anchor loads. These results are compared with previous results obtained using models of air-supported shelters and with some rigid structure results.
