Strength Reduction Factors in accordance with the design loads prescribed by the
standard ASCE Standard 7-98
“
Minimum design loads for buildings and other
structures
. In addition, it suggests some additional recommendations about the use
of wind tunnel analysis in order to investigate the wind pressures (where the shape
of the membrane does not fall within the limits of the prescriptive load require-
ments), the
”
flutter at free edges and the resonance of the entire structures. Additional
information are provided by the ASCE Standard 17-96
fl
“
Air Supported Structures
”
and ASCE Standard 19-96
.
The prescriptions of the ASCE Standards are now supported by several manuals of
practice which examine in depth several aspects related to the design of tensioned
fabric roofs (Huntington
2004
,
2013
).
