DISCUSSION ON RESEARCH ACTIVITY PUBLISHED AS "A STUDY ON WIND FORCES FOR WIND RESISTANT DESIGN OF HIGH-RISE BUILDING CLADDINGS (PART 1) : Characteristics of mean wind-induced internal pressures" (Nobuo KATO, Takeshi OHKUMA, Yoshinori NIIHORI and Tsuyoshi KURITA, J.

Abstract

This paper contains some contradictory descriptions to those in my early papers2)>3). Therefore the following questionnaires are raised; 1) Why should the estimation period be ten minutes. 2) How can it be checked that the internal pressure of the instrument screen corresponds to the atmospheric static pressure. 3) Why does the coefficient of the internal pressure converge more easily in the lower wind speed conditions. 4) What do you think about the difference between an actual wind flow field and that in a wind tunnel.
