| Summary: | A knowledge of the pressure fluctuations on buildings exposed to strong winds is important for wind loading calculations. The statistical quantities of such fluctuations in terms of r.m.s. values and power spectra for models resembling the Aylesbury experimental building of the Building Research Establishment are presented and compared with full-scale results. The comparison suggests that provided the properties of the longitudinal velocity component are suitably simulated, then agreement between full-scale and model results in terms of r.m.s. values and power spectra can be achieved. |
