Abstract
-
to define wind loads during an initial tender phase, when no wind tunnel test has been developed yet;
-
to define wind loads for the cladding of a building that will never have the aid of a wind tunnel test;
-
to define wind loads on components that have not been simulated in the wind tunnel test, because their size was too small when scaled to the wind tunnel test model.
-
Façade projections, i.e. canopies, balconies, sun-shadings, etc.;
-
Buildings with curved surfaces but non-circular shape;
-
Cladding elements with more than one skin.
