Discussion of wind pressure on buildings and its variation with height, particularly beyond limits given by present British Code of Practice; adoption of 10 sec gusts for buildings and 3 sec gusts for smaller structures is recommended as basis of design, shape of building being accounted for by shape factor; averaging results of various recording stations is carried out at gradient height and wind velocity at any height is calculated from profiles which depend on surface roughness of terrain in which structure is situated; pressures for various exposure conditions are tabulated for different regions of British Isles. (See also - n 679 Feb 1963 p 201, 203-204)
