Techniques for Measuring Wind Loads on Full-Scale Buildings
Wind pressure measurements are being made on a 4-story building on the NBS campus at Gaithersburg, Maryland. Field data will be used to develop new design criteria and to improve wind tunnel modeling techniques. Simultaneous wind velocity measurements from six meteorological towers make it possible to relate pressure distributions and fluctuations to the undisturbed wind field. Techniques developed in the course of this study are fully described, including instrumentation, data acquisition and data reduction and analysis. It is believed that the methods used for the measurement of pressures on roof areas and the establishment of a static reference pressure overcome major problems in making field measurements on full-scale buildings.
