Summary The material used for membrane structure is made of a resin-coated fabric. The main purpose of this study is to accurately understand the load-extension behavior of a fabric membrane material so that a structural model which is very similar to an actual behavior can be constructed for the purpose of numerical analysis. This report explains the load-extension behavior of the fabric based on the uniaxial and biaxial loading tests and outlines the results obtained from comparing with a structural model considering geometry.
