Abstract: | A vacuum pre-stressed paper structure using cardboard boxes wrapped in a waterproof envelope was proposed. The boxes were connected by sleeves, locking tabs, and pre-compression. A full-scale model was constructed in an outdoor site to test the performance under natural environmental conditions. |
