Abstract
Fluctuating surface pressure measurements are made for four flat-roofed building models with square or rectangular plans in order to examine wind load combinations. The fluctuating pressures are integrated over all their surfaces and results are obtained of along-wind force, across-wind force, vertical force, along-wind overturning moment, across-wind overturning moment and torsional moment on their frames. This paper discusses the combination of the maximum level of quasi-static and resonant wind load components for low-, middle- and high-rise building models. It then examines the peak normal stresses in columns of frame models to assess the effects of wind load combinations on rigid buildings.
