| dc.description.abstract | Mean and fluctuating wind loading on a 1:192 scale model of Kaiser Center Office Building 403 ft high was studied in a uniform flow. Pressure measurements were carried out for four different wind directions (N, NE, E, and S). The wind loading was influenced strongly by a tall building immediately to the southeast when the wind was from the south, Generally, the mean pressure was higher at the center portion of an upwind face than near its edges. On the leewind surface relatively uniform negative pressure (suction) was obtained. Its absolute value was about one-third of that along an upwind face. On the other hand, the fluctuating pressure was highest near the building base, in the flow separation region and in the wake of the adjacent building in a southly wind. A model of the upstream topography to the northeast was constructed using a 1:600 scale. This model terrain was 24 ft long (2.7 miles of the prototype terrain) with the Kaiser building site near its trailing edge. Mean velocity and turbulence intensity profiles were measured along the terrain. | |
