Wind tunnel tests of wind pressure distributions for four different tent halls

Abstract

This papers concerns measurements of wind pressure distributions on the roofs and side walls of tent hall models. Four tent halls of different shapes and constructions were investigated in the boundary layer wind tunnel at Cracow University of Technology, Poland. On the basis of these measurements, different schemes of wind pressure coefficient distributions for these structures were determined, including mean and extreme values of the coefficients. The obtained results, their analyses and comparisons are of great importance from a structural design point of view for such types of structures.
