Our experience in Arenas&Asociados designing and building tensile structures has been carried out in Spain. Our country has a mild weather, not exposed to extreme wind events like hurricanes or tornadoes; not subject to heavy snowing episodes in the populated areas, and neither to relevant risky seismic events. However, in recent years some climatic events caused by explosive cyclogenesis have exceeded the recommended climatic values provided in the local Building Codes to determine the loading pattern to be applied in the structures. Two of our projects were exposed to wind speeds above 120 km/h like the Loro Parque Killer Whales Grandstand Roof in the Canary Islands or the Alicante Maritime Station Canopy. It is worth mentioning that both structures are in seaside areas which in Spain leads to higher wind speeds. Also, it is worth mentioning another two projects that we built in Madrid, the Desert City Bubble Roof and the X-Madrid Mall Canopy. The first one resisted the effect of the Storm Filomena in January 2021, a 30-hour continuous snow that exceeded all the record in 50 years thanks to the provisions of a climate control system actuating on the air blowers of the ETFE cushions to counteract the snow load. The latter one a 75 m diameter roof also successfully passed the Filomena effect thanks to the form finding and the avoid of potential ponding areas. In this case, due to the importance of the structure was tested in the wind tunnel to verify that the pressures applied in the structural verification models developed according to the Codes guidelines were valid.
