Experimental investigation of wind load on low-rise industrial building
Abstract
Aim of this paper is to investigate wind pressure distribution on low-rise industrial
building based on the results from atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel experiments.
Building model is a hanger with a tilted roof with an inclination of 5°. Values of mean and
fluctuating pressure coefficients measured on the surface of the roof and side walls of the
model are discussed in the paper. Five wind approaching angles are considered: 0°, 15°,
30°, 45° and 90°. The investigation can offer some basic understanding of wind behaviour
and effects on low-rise industrial buildings regarding different wind angles.
