Air dome building is a new type of building that is structurally characterized by the use of air pressure differentials to support the weight of the building. Air dome buildings have many advantages, such as energy saving, environmental protection, fast construction speed, etc., so they have been widely used in some fields. However, there is some controversy about whether air-dome buildings are suitable for use in stadiums.
First of all, the application of air dome building in gymnasium needs to consider its structural strength and stability. One of the advantages of air-dome construction is its lightweight design, but this design can be a safety hazard for large venues. For example, the air-dome building of a large stadium needs to withstand more pressure and wind forces, so its structure and material selection need to be strengthened to ensure its safety performance.
Secondly, the lighting and ventilation problems of air dome buildings also need to be solved. Stadiums need good lighting and ventilation to ensure the comfort of spectators and athletes. However, the membrane material of the air film building has poor light transmission and limited ventilation performance, so special design and treatment are required, such as adding skylights, using ventilation equipment, etc.
In addition, the thermal insulation and thermal insulation performance of air-dome buildings also needs attention. Gymnasiums need heating in winter and cooling in summer, and the materials of air-dome buildings have limited ability to insulate from temperature, so their thermal insulation and thermal insulation properties need to be considered. Especially under extreme weather conditions, air dome buildings can be greatly affected.
In addition, the construction and maintenance costs of the air dome building also need to be considered. Although the construction speed of air dome buildings is fast, the cost of materials and equipment is high, and maintenance and maintenance also require certain expenses. Therefore, when considering the application of air dome construction to a sports stadium, a comprehensive economic assessment and technical feasibility analysis are required.
To sum up, the application of air dome building in stadiums needs to consider multiple factors. Although the air dome building has many advantages, it is necessary to solve the problems of structural strength, lighting and ventilation, thermal insulation, and construction and maintenance costs in practical applications. Only after sufficient demonstration and technical preparation can it be decided whether it is suitable for the application of air dome building in the construction of gymnasiums.
