Emergencies in Air-Supported Structures

摘要

The article provides an overview of the air-supported structures that originated in the 1940s as a way to keep ice and snow accumulation off radars in Canada and Alaska. It mentions that air-supported structures are made from either a polyvinyl chloride-coated woven polyester or a nylon fabric that should comply with the National Fire Protection Association 701. Air-supported structures use two techniques, such as a heavier weight material and a lighter weight material using rib cast.
