Wind loads on double-skillion roof houses
Recent damage surveys have shown that double-skillion roof houses, characterised by two monoslope roofslopes with a vertical ‘rise’ connecting the upper and lower roof slopes, are vulnerable to cladding and structural failures in windstorms. Wind loading Standards such as AS/NZS 1170.2 do not currently provide pressure coefficients for deriving design wind loads specifically for these types of double-skillion roofs.
This paper presents a 1/50 scale wind tunnel model study on a typical double-skillion roof house. The study found that the upper roof slope experiences large suction pressures especially near the upwind corner for oblique approach winds. In addition, the lower roof slope and rise are subjected to large positive pressures. The structure (i.e. rafters) near the end-walls also experiences large hold-down loads. Cladding loads and rafter hold-down loads are significantly larger than values obtained from applying data currently available in AS/NZS 1170.2
