WIND FLOW AROUND AN ATYPICAL BUILDING AND BUILDING CONFIGURATIONS


Abstract eng:
This paper deals with a solution of air flowing around an atypical building. A result is an important parameter - the pressure coefficient on the structure. It is necessary for design of buildings and structures (or part of structures) in terms of wind load calculations. Wind tunnel measurements of wind flow and wind pressures distributions around an atypical building (a cross-section was shaped as quarter circle and building configurations with weak interaction) were performed in BLWT STU in Bratislava for 24 wind directions and different wind speeds. The results were compared with EN 1991-1-4 and they pointed to the conservative approach of standards as well as local peak pressures on the façade.
