This paper presents some selected results obtained from the field measurements of wind effects on Guangzhou International Sports Arena (GISA) during the passage of Typhoon Fanapi in September, 2010. The field data such as wind speed, wind direction and acceleration responses, etc., were simultaneously and continuously recorded during the typhoon. The measured acceleration data are analyzed to obtain the information on dynamic characteristics and wind-induced response of the large-span roof structure. The first four natural frequencies and vibration mode shapes of the roof are identified on the basis of the field measurements using the stochastic subspace identification (SSI) method and comparisons with those calculated from the computational model of the roof are made. The damping ratios of the roof are also identified by the SSI method and compared with those estimated by the random decrement method, and the amplitude-dependent damping characteristics are presented and discussed. Furthermore, the field measurement results are compared with the wind tunnel test results to examine the accuracy of the model test results and the adequacy of the techniques used in wind tunnel tests.

Snowdrift patterns exhibit various forms according to the architectural shapes and models. As snowdrift patterns largely influence the snow loads that buildings have to withstand, a number of studies have been conducted. This study examines snowdrift patterns and how the amount of snow comes to rest depends on the shape of a roof (for flat and gable roofs) using a wind tunnel test. An analysis of snowdrift patterns and accumulation coefficients, which are representative of the depth of snow cover, for flat and gable roofs showed that accumulation coefficient decreases in accordance with increases in wind speed. The gable roof exhibited a slightly higher accumulation coefficient than the flat roof.

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.

Fluctuating Wind

The Shenzhen New Railway Station (SNRS) has roof dimensions of 450 m long and 408 m wide. This paper presents the results of wind loads acting on the large-span roof structure. In the wind tunnel test, wind-induced pressures including mean and fluctuating components were measured from the roof of a 1:200 scale SNRS model under suburban boundary layer wind flow configuration in a boundary layer wind tunnel of HD-2 at Hunan University. Based on the data obtained simultaneously from the wind tunnel tests, the distributions of the mean and fluctuating wind pressure coefficients and the characteristics of probability density functions of wind pressures of typical pressure taps were analyzed in detailed. The outcomes of the experimental study indicate that: (1) The maximum mean negative wind pressure coefficients on the roof occur at the windward leading edge region, where the maximum fluctuating wind pressure coefficients occur also in this region; (2) There are some differences of the maximum mean negative wind pressure coefficients and RMS wind pressure coefficients under conditions with different number of trains inside the station, but such effects on the overall pressure distributions on the whole roof are negligible; (3) There are clearly negative skewed distributions for some pressure taps at the windward leading roof edge and much longer negative tails are observed, which follow Non-Gaussian distributions. The results presented in this paper are expected to be of considerable interest and of use to researchers and professionals involved in designing complex long-span roof structures.
