| Summary |
The advantage of negatively pressurized pneumatic structures is discussed. The buckling behavior of skeletons that support the pneumatic structures’ surfaces is investigated by means of linear numerical analysis and a full-scale experiment. The configuration of the investigated skeleton is an arch. The reinforcement effect by tension members is also considered.
