The present paper first investigates the collapse behavior of a conventional pipe-framed greenhouse under snow loading based on a 3-D finite element analysis, in which both geometrical and material non-linearities are considered. Three snow load distribution patterns related to the wind-driven snow particle movement are used in the analysis. It is found that snow load distribution affects the deformation and collapse behavior of the pipe-framed greenhouse significantly. The results obtained in this study are consistent with the actual damage observed. Next, discussion is made of the effects of reinforcements by adding members to the basic frame on the strength of the whole structure, in which seven kinds of reinforcement methods are examined. A buckling analysis is also carried out. The results indicate that the most effective reinforcement method depends on the snow load distribution pattern.
