Abstract: A test building was constructed in Fredericton, New Brunswick and was used to collect pressure and force coefficient data. A 1:200 scale model was also fabricated and tested for a total of 15 angles of wind attack at the ...

Abstract: A wind tunnel study has been carried out to assess wind loads on patio covers attached to low-rise buildings. A 1:100 geometric scale building and patio cover model was constructed and tested for open exposure conditions. ...

Abstract: Roof overhangs are prone to wind damage because they are subject to wind load at both the upper and bottom surfaces. Wind standards assume that the pressure at the bottom covering of a roof overhang will be the same as the ...

Abstract: Canopies attached to residential and other buildings are predominantly lightweight structures with both surfaces exposed to the wind; therefore, their design is mostly governed by wind-induced loads. Currently, only limited ...

Abstract: A wind tunnel study was performed to examine wind loads on canopies attached to the walls of low-rise buildings. A model of a building with an attached canopy of geometric scale of

Abstract: Posthurricane surveys have shown that building interior damage often results from water intrusion into the building interior. The interior damage can make up 50%–100% of the total building loss; therefore, its accurate ...

Abstract: The field of wind science and engineering (WSE) in relation to civil engineering (CE) applications is still considered relatively young and thus has been taught only for about 50 years in some academic institutions. ...
