WIND TUNNEL TESTS AND ANALYSES FOR GROUND-MOUNTED, AIR-SUPPORTED STRUCTURES (REVISED)

Abstract

This second report is a revised and expanded edition of a prior study entitled 6Wind Tunnel Tests and Analysis of Ground Mounted Air-Supported Structures.6 This study was made to expand the scope of the report to include data on cylindrical shelters with elliptical ends, the bending stiffness of an inflated beam, vibration characteristics of single-wall and double-wall shelters, the effect of wing skirts on the ground anchors, and a study of factors to improve the stability of double-wall shelters.
