A non-Gaussian probabilistic approach for estimating the equivalent static wind load on structures from unsteady pressure measurements in wind tunnel


Abstract eng:
A novel probabilistic approach is presented for estimating the equivalent static wind loads that produce a static response of the structure, which is ”equivalent” in a probabilistic sense, to the dynamic responses due to the pressure random field induced by the wind. This approach has especially been developed for the case for which a large number of unsteady pressure measurements are carried out on complex structures (such stadium roofs) in a wind tunnel, the random pressure field is non-Gaussian, and the quasi-static part of the responses is important with respect to the dynamical part. The proposed approach is demonstrated with a simple illustrative example.
