| Summary |
In general，air-supported structures are designed primarily against wind load or snow load which causes the greatest stresses or the large deflections in the environmental condition.
Due to the high flexibility of an air-supported structure， its equilibrium shape and the associated external loading are greatly influenced by the interactions between the structure and the load.
In this paper， we describe an experimental research on the structural characteristics of low-profile cable reinforced air-supported structure by using a large-scale model (span 25m).
And also we describe practical method of shape finding，geometrically nonlinear analysis of membrane structures and wind resistant design method.
