A comparison of wind-tunnel and full-scale wind pressure measurements on low-rise structures

Reports comparisons between wind pressures measured on two low-rise experimental buildings and pressures measured on wind-tunnel models of those buildings. For the experimental building at Aylesbury, comparisons are made between thefull-scale pressures obtained by the Building Research Establishment and those of model tests at 1: 500 scale carried out by the University of Western Ontario, Canada and at 1 :50 scale by Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (V.P.l.S.U.). The second experimental building, constructed by V.P.l.S. U. at Price's Fork, VA, provided information on wall pressures which are.compared with those obtained from a 1: 24 scale model teflted in the wind tunnel at V.P.J.S. U.
