Abstract

The necessity of a dome stadium is increasing with the continued increase in sport interests. In tune with such trend, southwestern region baseball stadium, the first domed stadium in the nation, is being constructed. The roof is composed of membrane structure, which is significantly affected by snow loads. The Metrodome of Minnesota, which had a roof designed as a membrane structure had its roof collapse due to heavy snowdrift in 2011. For this reason, snow load is increasingly important. Nevertheless, studies on snowdrift experiment, which is considered important in estimating snow load, are insufficient in reality. This paper focused on snowdrift experiment that was performed on southwestern region baseball stadium that happens to be the first domed stadium in the nation. Snow wind tunnel, the use of the measured result, the maximum depth of fresh snowdrift, and the maximum depth of snowdrift were predicted in the experiment. As result, it is anticipated that snow will heap up on the roof of the stadium in 2.9cm to 32.2cm range if maximum depth of fresh snowdrift is applied and in 3.4cm to 37cm range.
