abstract

  • The pressure model test is now used as a well accepted procedure for determining wind pressures on the exterior cladding of tall buildings. The methods used in a pressure model study are reviewed including measurement system frequency response, the determination of peak pressure coefficients, combining wind tunnel and meteorological data and evaluating internal pressures. In addition, an assessment is made of the uncertainties involved in wind tunnel testing as compared with using building code methods. © 1988.
