GUIDE FOR ESTIMATING MAXIMUM ANCHOR LOADS ON AIR-SUPPORTED STRUCTURES

Abstract

This report contains all the graphs, tables, mathematical formulas, and design data necessary to estimate the maximum loads on anchoring systems used with air-supported shelters subjected to winds up to 105 mph. The design data are presented in non-dimensional coefficient form. Sample problems as included to illustrate the use of the data and their application to both single and double-wall structures.
