Wind Pressure Coefficient

Damage of the cladding structures usually occurs from the wind-sensitive part, which can cause the damaged conditions to obviously vary from different areas especially on a large roof surface. It is necessary to design optimization due to the difference of wind loads by defining more accurate wind pressure coefficient (WPC) zones according to the wind vulnerability analysis. The existing wind pressure coefficient zoning methods (WPCZM) have successfully been used to characterize the simple roof shapes. But the solutions for the complex and irregular roof shapes generally rely on the empirical judgment which is defective to the wind loading analysis. In this study, a classification concept for WPC values on the roof surface is presented based on the unsupervised learning algorithm, which is not limited by the roof geometry and can realize the multitype WPC zoning more accurately. As a typical unsupervised learning algorithm, an improved K-means clustering is proposed to develop a new WPCZM to verify the above concept. And a method to determine the optimal K-value is presented by using the K-means clustering test and clustering validity indices to overcome the difficulty of obtaining the cluster number in the traditional methods. As an example, the most unfavorable pressure and suction WPC zones are studied on a flat roof structure with single wind direction and full wind direction based on the data obtained from the wind tunnel test. As another example, the mean pressure coefficient zones are studied on a saddle roof structure under 0- and 45-degree wind direction based on the data obtained by the wind tunnel test. And the proposed WPCZM is illustrated and verified.

The majority of low-rise buildings are generally susceptible to wind damage in previous wind disaster, thus it is necessary to gain understanding of the characteristics of wind pressure for these types of building. Based on Wind Tunnel Test, the shape coefficients were studied with pressure measurement on gable roofs laying aside purlin of low-rise building roof in this paper. Three aspects were arerespectively discussed: the lows of shape coefficients and the shape coefficient value with specific wind angle on roofs of the houses completely closed, the house opened doors and windows and the house opened the hole on roof with different wind angle. The laws of shape coefficients were propounded for low-rise buildings with different positions of openings in contrast to load code. A detailed analysis of the experimental results shows that the shape coefficients will increase notably when there are the openings on metope and on roof, and the one is outward of roof, another is inward of roof. It is expected that the results should be valuable for the wind-resistance design of low-rise buildings.

Wind Pressure Coefficient

This article deals with experimental investigation of air flow around in – line standing circular cylinders and influence of nearby standing hall on external wind pressure distribution. The wind pressure distribution on the structures is an important parameter in terms of wind load calculation. For vertical circular cylinders in a row arrangement only wind force coefficient is possible find in Eurocode. 1991-1-4. External wind pressure coefficient depends on wind direction and the ratio of distance and diameter b. Influence of nearby standing structure is not possible find in Eurocode. The series of parametric wind tunnel studies was carried out in Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel (BLWT) STU to investigate the external wind pressure coefficient in turbulent wind flow. Experimental measurements were performed in BLWT for 2 reference wind speeds, which fulfilled flow similarity of prototype and model. We have compared the results of free in - line standing 3 circular cylinder and influence of hall on distribution of wind pressure at 3 height levels in turbulent wind flow and these results were compared with values in EN 1991-1-4.

Fluctuating Wind

In this paper, 2 high-rise building models with ladder and cascade irregularities of elevation were tested in a wind tunnel respectively to measure the mean and fluctuating wind pressure distributions. The mean and RMS (root-mean-square) coefficients of the drag, lift and torsion moment on the measuring layer were obtained from the wind pressures. In the direction which the buildings were positive in the wind, the variation of these above mentioned coefficients with height and the power spectrum densities of the fluctuating wind loads on sudden changed positions were analyzed in detail. Compared with the elevation regular tall building, the wind load characteristics of irregular ones were more complicated.

In response to the estimation of the peak values of wind pressure on the maintenance structure, the results with TTU low-rise building standard model of different methods are analyzed and compared. The results show: the results of peak-to-average method and Cook & Mayne method are very close for the long sample estimation of the peak values of wind pressure, the former is the most ideal method for estimation of extreme wind pressure; For short sample estimation, the peak-to-average method fails because the sampling is not long enough, but the Cook & Mayne method can estimate accurate peak value of wind pressure by the short sample (the corresponding prototype time not less than 600s); The peak factor method based on the assumption of normal distribution is not applicable to low-rise building and the results are relatively dangerous.

Wind Pressure Coefficient

This article carries out a numerical simulation of a landslide-type long-span roof structure, Harbin Wanda Cultural Industry Complex. The maximum span of the landslide-type roof is 150 m and the minimum span is 90 m, with a minimum height of 40 m and a maximum height of 120 m, and the roof area is divided into three different parts. The large eddy simulation (LES) method is used to simulate and record the wind pressure coefficient of the roof. The distribution law and cause of the mean wind pressure coefficient of the roof are firstly analyzed, and the comparison with the existing wind tunnel test data proves the validity of the numerical simulation. Secondly, a qualitative analysis is made on the distribution of root mean square (RMS) fluctuating coefficients. Subsequently, the non-Gaussian characteristics of the roof are briefly discussed, and the peak factor distribution is calculated. Finally, based on the total wind pressure coefficient, a simple evaluation method for judging favorable and unfavorable wind direction angles is proposed, and only the shape of the roof and wind angle need to be known.
