The UWO contribution to the NIST aerodynamic database for wind loads on low buildings: Part 1. Archiving format and basic aerodynamic data

Basic quality checks of the data are made via limited comparisons among the data obtained during this study. Parametric comparisons based on roof slope, building height and building plan dimension show that the data obtained within this study are consistent with the expected aerodynamic behaviour. Comparisons with full scale TTU data show that the wind tunnel tests match the full-scale reasonably well, but cannot reproduce the largest of the peak point suctions near roof edges.
