The content of design pressures on claddings in the current Taiwan Code was previously made referring to ASCE 7-88, 7-02, and AIJ-1996. Compared to the latest versions of ASCE and AIJ serial codes, the content and the provided figures or tables are insufficient for modern designs. In international regulations, the wind tunnel test is often considered a vital assessment alternative of wind loads. Therefore, instead of providing more figures or tables in the future code revision, this research aims to develop an approach to determine a reasonable design wind pressure on claddings based on meteorological data and well-organized wind tunnel tests. Revision suggestions to the related content of wind tunnel tests in the current code are provided as well. |
