High-Rise-Building Wind Pressure Distribution Testing

Details

Conducted wind tunnel tests on 6 high-rise buildings to quantify the wind load, including classified the ground surface roughness category and wind exposure category, simulated wind profile characteristics in the wind tunnel, designed the scaled building model for the test building and surrounding structures, installed wind pressure sensors on the surface of the building model, recorded wind pressure under each test profile, analyzed and calculated the drag coefficient and gust effect factors to determine the wind pressure for the build, and drafted the test report.
