To　investigate　the　effects　of　high　turbulence　in　typhoon　on　the　aerodynamic　characteristics　of　membrane　structure,　wind　tunnel　tests　of　an　umbrella-shaped　tensioned　membrane　structure　were　carried　out　in　both　typhoon　and　traditional　atmospheric　boundary　layer　in　terrain　B　field　(B-type).　Dynamic　identification　of　the　aeroelastic　model　in　these　two　wind　fields　are　discussed　in　terms　of　frequency,　modal　shape　and　damping　ratio.　Results　show　that　the　influences　of　high-level　turbulence　intensity　are　(i)　the　fluid-structure　interaction　in　typhoon　becomes　more　severe　with　larger　damping　ratio,　resulting　in　the　reduction　of　displacement　response　and　frequency,　(ii)　the　frequencies　in　different　order　distribute　closely　in　some　narrow　bands　and　perform　localization,　and　(iii)　the　non-Gaussian　distribution　of　displacement　response　appears　more　obvious　in　typhoon　condition,　which　should　be　considered　in　reliability　design　of　membrane　structure.　This　study　can　address　the　deficiency　of　current　studies　for　dynamic　characteristics　of　membrane　structure　in　typhoon.　©　2023,　The　Author(s),　under　exclusive　license　to　Springer　Nature　Singapore　Pte　Ltd.
