Some measurements of the surface pressure fluctuations on wind-tunnel models of a low-rise building.

A knowledge of the pressure fluctuations on buildings exposed to strong winds is important for wind loading calculations. Presents the statistical quantities of such fluctuations in terms of rms values and power spectra for models resembling the Aylesbury experimental building of BRE, and compares this with full-scale results. Suggests that, provided the properties of the longitudinal velocity component are suitably simulated, then agreement between full-scale and model results in terms of rms values and power spectra can be achieved.
