Wind Tunnel Study of Wind Loads on and Snowdrift around the Buildings for Antarctic Use
The design features affecting the performance of Antarctic buildings in terms of snowdrift clearance and design loading appear to be the building shape facing the wind and the elevation of the building from the ground. The wind induced loads on and snowdrifting formation around a number of different shapes of on-ground and elevated buildings were investigated. The research provides vital information for the prediction of snowdrifting around Antarctic buildings and will play a major role in Antarctic building design in the future.
