Abstract
Damage to large membrane roof during heavy snow in February 2014 was investigated. The failure of the membrane roof unintentionally avoided the most dangerous collapse of the main skeleton. The membrane roof has functioned as force-limiter. The author recognized this fact and applied this principle to virtual renovation of another gymnasium roof in the same prefecture, which has been actually collapsed by the same heavy snow.
