The paper deals with the wind action on flat roofs of rectangular shapes which can be considered for medium-rise and high-rise buildings. Distributions of mean pressure coefficient Cp on flat roofs were measured. All analyses were based on model measurements which had been performed in the boundary layer wind tunnel in Wind Engineering Laboratory of Cracow University of Technology. Vertical, fixed in the floor of the wind tunnel on the turn table rectangular prisms of the ratio of cross-section dimensions 1:2 and 1:4 were investigated. Measurements were carried out for the angle of wind attack in the range 0°-90°, every 15°. The influence of the wind structure on pressures was investigated in six different cases of the approaching wind.

The paper summarizes the problem of snow load prediction on building roofs, the importance of wind action in context of this load and the scope of wind tunnel applications in such research with more detailed description of experimental stand in Cracow University of Technology. Author reports the scope of experimental and theoretical research on snow load carried out over the years 2004-2012 in the boundary layer wind tunnel located at Wind Engineering Laboratory CUT. The research were conducted in the course of design processes on three models of arena-like buildings with large roofs, and one research on more general flat roof building.

The paper presents the analysis of the wind action on tall buildings carried out in accordance with the recommendations of Eurocode 1, and with the results of own research conducted in the wind tunnel of the Wind Engineering Laboratory, Cracow University of Technology. Ten buildings of the same proportions were analyzed, five structures with the ratio of the cross-section dimensions of 1:2 and five of 1:4. The wind action on the longer side (N1) and on the shorter side (N2) were adopted in all cases of buildings. The total forces of wind pressure as well as displacements of top and bending moments at the base of the buildings were taken as the results which allowed to compare two different approaches.

Food handler still fails to play their part even when the government imposes “No Plastic Bag” campaign and a ban on polystyrene foam to pack foods. This research focuses on eco-friendly food packaging based on the perception and practice of young consumers, especially the undergraduates of Mara University of Technology Penang Campus (UiTMPP). Questionnaire was constructed and distributed to 315 respondents.  The collected data were analyzed with simple descriptive statistic of frequency, mean and standard deviation. Most of the respondents are aware on eco-friendlyfood packaging. They agreed that the university should propose some alternative to control and reduce non-biodegradable foods packaging.
