“…Moreover, the cost analysis demonstrated that the strengthening of a greenhouse structure is a very advantageous solution, as the construction cost is low, and it does not interrupt crop production. Another approach could be the evaluation of wind loads with advanced wind models [17] or Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models [18][19][20][21] which may lead to less conservative wind pressures than the requirements of EN13031-1 [1] and, thus, more meticulous design and retrofitting methods.…”

Steel greenhouse structures are generally constructed by individual sole contractors using quick empirical structural calculations (pre-engineered solutions). It is also common to import standard greenhouses from other countries, mainly from The Netherlands, Italy, and France, and sometimes from Great Britain and Israel. Evidently, these countries differ concerning the local wind and snow conditions. Therefore, there is a need for a better design of structures accepted as satisfactory, while installation can be done in a different location. Many greenhouse structures incorporating poor designs or inappropriate pre-engineered solutions are currently in use. At the same time, demolition and reconstruction represent a very expensive solution considering the loss of crop production and the demolition and construction costs; thus, strengthening is a reasonable alternative. This paper presents strengthening techniques for steel greenhouses that are code-deficient according to EN 13031 and Eurocodes. Consequently, two case studies are presented as typical applications of greenhouse structure strengthening.

“…Jacome et al [12] optimized the aerodynamic-induced vibration of the wing based on the uncertainty-based aerodynamic optimization method. Scholars at home and abroad have also carried out related research on steel structures [13], high-rise buildings [14][15][16] and other building structures [17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

Wind tunnel tests and numerical simulations are the mainstream methods to study the wind-induced vibration of structures. However, few articles use statistical parameters to point out the differences and errors of these two research methods in exploring the wind-induced response of membrane structures. The displacement vibration of a saddle membrane structure under the action of wind load is studied by wind tunnel tests and numerical simulation, and statistical parameters (mean, range, skewness, and kurtosis) are introduced to analyze and compare the displacement data. The most unfavorable wind direction angle is 0° (arching direction). The error between experiment and simulation is less than 10%. The probability density curve has a good coincidence degree. Both the test and simulation show a certain skewed distribution, indicating that the wind-induced vibration of the membrane does not obey the Gaussian distribution. The displacement response obtained by the test has good stability, while the simulated displacement response has strong discreteness. The difference between the two research methods is quantitatively given by introducing statistical parameters, which is helpful to improve the shortcomings of wind tunnel tests and numerical simulations.

“…Earthquakes are not the only sources that cause dynamic loads on structures. One of the main dynamic effects that may lead to sudden or progressive collapses is wind [21][22][23][24]. The wind is a very significant factor that leads to lateral loads to which building structures are relatively more sensitive than they are to vertical loads [25].…”

This study investigated the failure of the roof, with steel truss construction, of a factory building in Tekirdag in the northwestern part of Turkey. The failure occurred under hefty weather conditions including lightning strikes, heavy rain, and fierce winds. In order to interpret the reason for the failure, the effects of different combinations of factors on the design and dimensioning of the roof were studied. Finite element analysis, using the commercial software Abaqus (Dassault Systèmes, Vélizy-Villacoublay, France), was performed several times under different assumptions and considering different factors with the aim of determining the dominant factors that were responsible for the failure. Each loading condition gives out a characteristic form of failure. The scenario with the most similar form of failure to the real collapse is considered as the most likely scenario of failure. In addition, the factors included in this scenario are expected to be the responsible factors for the partial collapse of the steel truss structure.
