Summary Basing on the constitutive equation which derived from a quasi-physical model for the purpose of using in Finite Element Method procedure. the membrane structure has been analyzed under consideration of material and geometrical nonlinearity. The reduction of initial tensions in the suspension membrane structure adopted in the present analysis is observed after removal of snow loading superposed on it. From that results. the performance of the proposed constitutive equation on structural analysis of membrane structures has been shown.
