Abstract: The primary purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of incident flows (i.e., variations in terrain roughness) on wind loads and wind load combination effects on a target low-rise building. Three area ...

Abstract: Characteristics of wind pressures on a low-rise building immersed in various building area densities were investigated using three-dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) turbulence models. Wind pressure ...

Abstract: Wind loads are generally divided into along-wind, across-wind, and torsional loads, but in reality they occur simultaneously in time and space. Furthermore, because they do not show their maximums at the same instant, they ...

Abstract: In the present study, effects of panel shapes on wind-induced vibrations of solar wing system under various wind environments were investigated through conducting a series of wind tunnel tests. A scaled solar wing system ...
