Abstract: At the present stage, no detailed specifications and codes about wind effects on low-rise buildings in rural areas were made in Chinese. In order to reduce casualties and property loss due to wind damage, the investigation of wind tunnel experiments were carried out. The results indicate that the influence of purlin and front and rear eaves on wind load should be considered in building design. Because a specific blowing angle of wind would produce the largest wind load in the surface of the house. In the structure design, the value of shape coefficient should be increased to a certain degree and also amplify according to windward and leeward roofs.

Abstract: By analysis the form of gas percolation in coalfield fire, the follow conclusion is obtained : under the influence of natural wind pressure and fire pressure, natural ventilation system of coalfield outcrop is formed automatically during coal spontaneous combustion, which exists in two forms, one is the fresh airflow percolation in caving zone and its pore, the other is coal combustion gases migration movements in cracks after sliding. The fluent numerical simulations show that natural ventilation system in coalfield outcrop fire district is a vacuum ventilation system; From inlet to combustion area air intake line, air pressure and gas percolation on linear relationship, and gas percolation meets Darcy law in the porous medium percolation theory.

Abstract: The wind pressure asymmetric coefficient is used to express the variation of wind distribution along the transmission line. In this paper, the value of the wind pressure asymmetric coefficient in some international codes is discussed and compared. It’s shown that the coefficient has no relationship with the span length of transmission only in Chinese code. When the span of the checked transmission line is small, the wind pressure calculated based on Chinese code will be smaller than that based on others.

Abstract: Modern building walls is no longer a decoration, a simple external maintenance of the structure, but more and more deeply into an organic part of the whole building and involved in the functional construction of the entire building. The impact on the safety and energy saving performance of the whole building has come to a crucial point. A height of 237.7m core tube frame structure actually works in Qingdao cited as an example and the design of high-performance curtain wall system is studied. Many considerations in choosing the design and construction aspects of wall materials,design methods are described in watertight, airtight, wind pressure, the safety and reliability of modern curtain wall project.

Abstract: The radionuclides released from NPPs (Nuclear Power Plants) as a result of accidents will significantly affect human health by causing cancer, genetic diseases, or acute radiation sickness. To investigate and evaluate the influence of the airborne hazardous materials on human bodies in an indoor environment in urban areas near NPPs, it is necessary to calculate the inhalation dose. In this study, a method for the assessment of the inhalation dose of indoor radionuclides was proposed. This method consists of the combination of the basic equation of natural ventilation and the empirical equation for calculation of the inhalation dose. The method was applied in a modeled densely urban domain, and CFD simulations were conducted to obtain the wind pressure distribution on the building surfaces. Moreover, the impacts of certain important parameters, including the ventilation coefficient, the age group of humans, the wind velocity, the urban street width, and the building height, were discussed in this paper. The results show that all of these parameters affect the indoor inhalation dose. In most cases, the indoor dose obtained at the same floor was higher with a higher ventilation coefficient, breathing rate, wind velocity, and street width or a lower building height. Furthermore, people living in the middle floors will generally be exposed to a lower inhalation dose than those in other floors especially the top floor.

Abstract: Wind pressure of pedestrian bridge induced by main line train has been investigated using numerical simulation. Based on time-filtered Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations, meanwhile, the RNG k-ε turbulent model is selected to close the equations, the three-dimensional incompressible unsteady flow computational fluid dynamics model have been established by commercial software FLUENT. The distribution of wind pressure and the time histories of wind pressure on surface of the bottom of bridge are obtained, moreover, the characteristics of variation process are summarized.

Abstract: This paper mainly studies the distribution characteristics of surface wind pressure on low-rise buildings. Based on the theory of fluid dynamics, this study uses CFD software Fluent 6.3.26 to conduct numerical simulation of the models in wind tunnel tests by Yong Chul Kim involving four working conditions of different spacing or area density in regular arrangement. Compared with data of wind tunnel tests, the results show that different spacing or area density has significant influence on surface wind pressure of low-rise buildings and surrounding buildings have shielding effect over target buildings.

Abstract: The distribution of surface pressure of columns in concrete bridge with the effect of wind load has been simulated by Ansys software. Carbonation model of concrete in windy environment has been established by analyzing the relationship between the wind pressure, carbonization time and carbonation depth. Furthermore, by Taking air pressure of concrete surface into the carbonation model, there is a good consistency between the test value and the measured value of the actual place. At last, the design method of the durability of concrete structures under wind loads, which is based on concrete durability limit state, has been putted forward to determine the expression of the breakdown coefficient.

Abstract: In the paper the wind loads on 52 flore building "Iset Tower" are investigated. Distribution of pressure to the building and velocities are presented. Performed calculations show qualitative agreement with experimental results. According to the results of numerical simulation of wind effects it can be concluded that both aerodynamic experiments and numerical analysis are needed in the design. If there is coincidence of experimental and numerical results then they can be used to calculate the skeleton of the building.

Abstract: One of the critical loads in engineering design is wind load, especially for high-rise structure or multi-story structure. In order to forecast the distribution of wind effects on structure, how to accurately predict the building surface wind pressure distribution is very important. Using the wind tunnel model test and numerical simulation calculation methods, the surface wind load on the mega-frame structure were comparatively analyzed and researched in this paper. The results show that combined the realized к-ε model with the standard wall function will not only satisfy the mega-frame structure surface wind pressure value requirement, but also provide complete wind filed around, which could provide meaningful information for further research on wind load.
