Many building components have complex and redundant load paths; the chapter discusses how load sharing can be handled in such systems. The design of some building component and cladding systems depend on the storm duration and the numbers of load cycles, which is also discussed. 展开 ...
The paper presents an analysis of the wind effect on a building with complicated geometric shape, based on a comparison of the extreme wind pressure distribution airflow research in a wind tunnel and as a result of an analytical calculation based on standards. The main differences between the ...
A wind tunnel test was carried out to determine the wind load on tall building with complicated shape or subjected to interfering effect. To resolve the problem that the results of wind tunnel test cannot be directly used by structural design software, the global body shape coefficient obtained ...
The following study compares the wind pressure on a tall building obtained by RWIND Simulation with the results published by Dagnew et al. at the 11th Americas Conference on Wind Engineering in June 2009.
Numerical Investigation of Multi-SDBD Plasma Actuators for Controlling Fluctuating Wind Load on Building Roofs The present research aims to explore, by large-eddy simulation (LES), the potentiality and mechanism of multiple surface dielectric barrier discharge (multi-SDBD) plasma actuators to manipulate...
Determining Wind Loads in Relation to Building Design and Construction With so many different types of storms occurring in the United States every year, what is the appropriate amount of wind load to include in the design of buildings? Structural load specifications are largely determined by: data...
The utility model provides a building wind load comprehensive experiment teaching apparatus, which comprises an air inlet capable of opening and closing arranged at one end, a wind tunnel cylindrical shell of the air outlet capable of opening and closing arranged on the other end, a building model...

computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software Fluent 6.0, it indicated that the primary factor for the reduction of overall wind load onto building models with an opening was the decrease of surface area due to opening, but the reduction ratio of the wind load was greater than the opening ratio...
