Designing and construction of textile hanging roofs is the challenging subject for engineers. This type of structure needs geometrically and very often also physically non-linear calculations. Due to different behaviour of two families of threads (warp and weft), which during deformation can change the angle between their directions, they require special constitutive modelling. Also the loading of hanging roofs is very special. The wind loading should be taken as the following forces, and also its distribution on the roof surface is not unique. Also the snow loading (for permanent structures) can not be usually taken according the national standard. The authors present their experiences with the finite element calculation of hanging roofs at the example of the Forest Opera open area theatre in Sopot (Poland) new designed roofing.
