Abstract: This study deals with the ability of arch-supported membrane structures to withstand water accumulation. A previously developed specialized software tool may help prevent the occurrence of the ponding effect already in the design process. The influence of dimensions, surface prestress level and membrane material was investigated. The initial support layout and topology’s influence on the occurrence of the ponding effect was proved. The study outcomes may serve as the basis for the initial dimensions design of arch-supported membrane structures.
