A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
This document is intended to provide practicing engineers and building code officials with a technical resource that (1) describes current practices for the testing of buildings and other structures in flows simulating natural winds, (2) provides a basis for discussion on needed improvements to those practices. Improvements are required because, as was demonstrated by recent studies, (1) wind tunnel tests can yield widely different results depending upon the wind tunnel laboratory in which they are conducted, and (2) standard provisions for wind loads based on insufficiently documented or inadequate wind tunnel tests can be seriously in error.
