Aiming at the problem that the roof system of large-span storage structure with profiled metal sheet is easily destroyed by typhoon in strong typhoon area,we carry out the comparative study on the advantages and disadvantages of space truss,light-weight building with gabled frames,reinforced concrete frame structure and their corresponding roof design schemes in the design of container freight station warehouse on container wharf in strong typhoon area.The results show that the design scheme of space truss structure with the roof system of space truss slab has the advantages of strong typhoon resistance,large applicable span,less cost,and easy construction quality assurance,which is the most competitive design scheme of large-span storage structure in strong typhoon area.
