Abstract: Pneumatic structures involve inflatable membranes using air as the supporting medium. These membranes have wide applications to port structures, exhibition structures, disaster shelters, etc. The thermal performance characteristics of pneumatic structures have been studied by solving the appropriate energy-balance equations. The effects of spraying with water and painting the structure with a compound having good reflective characteristics have been studied.
