Wind Loadings on the Water Tank at Building Roof Top with Variant Installation Conditions

Abstract:

A series of wind tunnel aerodynamic experiments were conducted to investigate the wind loads on the water tank located around the roof top of low-rise buildings with gable roof. There are two installation conditions discussed in this study, they were the alignment of tank and the location on roof. The result shown, the vertical tank might suffer less wind loading at each wind attack angle due to its symmetric shape. And the horizontal tank would have large wind loading in some approaching flow angles, especially in the 45 degrees attack angle the wind loading may reach its maximum. The variant location and roof slope were checked for the water tank installation, the results shown that the tank which installed at ridge region will suffer higher wind loadings and the border region of roof will be the recommended region for water tank installation.
