Summary
Investigating damage to greenhouses and weather observation data identified damage factors concerning greenhouses due to snow. Namely, it was found that the damage was most serious when snow fell at around 0C. It was also found that greenhouses collapsed mainly due to the bending of skeleton pipes without breaking cover materials. We obtained data for structural analyses from these observations. It is necessary to produce a snow damage prevention procedure for each damage factor.HomePageKeywords: greenhouse, structure, snow load, weather condition, field survey
