Description
Highlights
  • Ambient vibration tests were performed on two full-scale multi-span greenhouses.
  • Two output-only system identification methods were adopted.
  • FE model updating was performed to determine the rigidity factors of analysis model.
Plastic greenhouses are often designed with low levels of safety. As a result there has been an increasing number of structural failures due to abnormal climatic conditions such as heavy snow and strong winds. Standardised prototypes are often used to facilitate the design process, but these prototypes cannot withstand every extreme loading condition. To aid the accurate evaluation of the disaster resilience of plastic greenhouse structures, finite element (FE) analysis for specific load cases is essential in their design process. In plastic greenhouses, clamp connectors and swivel couplers are generally used to connect beams to columns and arched rafters to purlins, and columns …
