A series of measurements of the surface pressures on arched roof low-rise buildings models with variant rise-to-span ratio were conducted with simultaneous pressure measuring system. The shielding effect of neighboring building were considered in this study, so a dummy model with same shape was put at the upstream of model with variant locations to evaluate the effect. Firstly, the mean, root-mean-square and peak value of wind pressures were surveyed. And with these simultaneous pressures data, the equivalent static wind loads on the structure system were calculated with the LRC method. The results shown, the shielding effect will reduce the surface pressure and the structural loadings, but in the case of small gap between buildings will increase peak pressure at side wall and corners of roof. It is found that the design wind code of Taiwan seems do not suggest different design wind pressures to the single building about the shielding effect for the design wind loads of low-rise buildings. But according to the results of this research, the design results on the structural wind loads still in the safe side. |
