The Influence of the Wind Flow Around the Free Ends of High-Rise Building on the Values of External Wind Pressure Coefficients

Abstract:

The external wind pressure coefficients are based on the measurements on the structures without free-end flow near the top of vertical structures. The end-effect factor takes into account reduction of the pressures due to specific flow around the top of atypical building. The article is based on the experimental measurements in BLWT tunnel in Bratislava on the model of building with cross section of the quarter circle. The model was tested in two spaces - in steady and turbulent wind flow, by changing of wind direction and wind velocity. The end-effect factor depending on the wind direction is shown in the graphs.
