Snow Wind Tunnel Experiment for Snowdrift Prediction of Domed Stadium
As baseball gets more and more popular the interest of fans increases. Since baseball game in its nature is influenced very much by weather the necessity of a domed stadium has been raised. At this moment a membrane structured domed stadium is under construction. As can be understood from the roof collapse of Minnesota Metrom by a heavy snowfall in 2011, the snow load occupies a very important part in membrane structure. To calculate the snow load snowdrift prediction is necessary and snow is piled mainly at the side or roof of a building. Hence, in this study a snowdrift wind tunnel test of a domed stadium was made to simulate snowdrift; using it the maximum depth of fresh snowdrift is estimated to be in the range of 3.4cm-37cm on the roof of a domed stadium.
