The analysis application and manufacture of air structures with reference to Canada

Abstract

<p>The development and analysis of physical characteristics pertaining to the construction, operation and maintenance of air structure systems is presented, with particular emphasis being given to Canadian applications. A design methodology appropriate to the design of air structures is introduced, and successfully utilised in the production of a structure installed in Nova scotia in 1973. Further comparative examples are presented to illustrate the versatility of air supported structures with reference to future requirements.</p>
