Abstract
This study was implemented to clarify the effect of a supplementary pole on the increment of safety snow-depth for the single-span plastic greenhouses which had been run as standardized facilities for 10 to 15 years till April, 2007. In the previous work, some of the basic ideas of the use of a temporary pole were discussed, but application was restricted to both 2-D and the cases which took rafter's specifications into no consideration, and there was also much less experimental information available. So, by modeling the house as the 3-D frame structure, the present study attempted to provide a comprehensive review of the pole's effect through structural analyses as well as measurements. Structural analyses abnormally revealed that the pole regardless of its interval had a negative effect on the structural stability. The results was certainly inconsistent with practical experience and hence implied a necessity of reinforcing the roof purlin. Accordingly, with the purlin being sufficiently reinforced, the plastic greenhouse with the pole's interval of 3~4 m had two times safety snow-depth more than that of the plastic greenhouse without the pole. And the safety snow-depth of five types of the single-span plastic greenhouses according to the pole's intervals was presented.
