Wind tunnel test on rectangular buildings with flat roofs and gable roofs. Windkanaluntersuchungen an Gebauden von rechteckigen Grundriss mit Flack-und Satteldachern.

Reports systematic pressure distribution measurements made on models of rectangular buildings of various heights with gabled roofs of different slopes in a wind tunnel. Describes the models and test procedure. Gives results in the form of graphs of mean pressure coefficients for different roof pitch, building height and wind direction. An appendix shows how mean pressure coefficients are obtained from section pressure coefficients, giving graphs of section pressure coefficients over the ground plan of the buildings and the raised roof structure.
