Wind Tunnel Investigations on Curved Roof Structure Models
- Systematic investigations using pressure measurements have been carried out on a curved roof structure model with different wall-height to span ratios, accounting for the effect of angles of wind incidence and terrain condition. These aspects are not covered in IS 875 (Part 3) -1987, which provides the pressure coefficients under uniform flow condition.
Based on these investigations, design guidelines on pressure coefficients for curved roof structures have been formulated.
