Abstract

Large deformation and contact simulations were performed to study deformation behaviour and stresses of membrane structure at conditions of snow weight by using a large scale simulator ADVENTUREClusterⓇ which was based on Finite Element Method (FEM). The initial state of the membrane structure was reproduced by loading gravity on membrane. Pressure was applied on surface of membrane as snow weight. In this study, it is suggested that applying gravity on membrane is reasonable method for reproducing initial state of membrane structure. Deformation, stresses and behaviour of membrane were quantitatively discussed at condition of snow weight.
