Wind tunnel model tests of high building of unusual shape
Problems of wind loads on high buildings of unconventional shape are discussed as function of building shape and characteristics of natural wind; new Toronto City Hall is used to show how wind loads, their distribution and fluctuation can create critical structural problems; natural wind loads were obtained from wind tunnel tests on City Hall model; research areas are indicated which require fullest attention for improving building codes.
