Abstract: Wind design procedures for wood roof trusses of low-rise structures are evaluated in this paper using wind tunnel test data and two-dimensional finite-element frame models. The adequacy of the conventional and two alternative ...

Abstract: Negative external pressure coefficients for design of components and cladding of steep-slope gable roofs (27° to 45° roof slope) on low-rise buildings subjected to wind loads were determined in this study based on data ...
