Wind tunnel experiments for a damaged flying shed roof due to typhoon 0406 (Diamu)
Details
The accident to which the hotel roof dispersed occurred in the west of Shiga Prefecture OUMI-HACHIMAN CITY due to the strong wind induced by typhoon 0406 on around June 21th 13:10 of 2004. The roof came flying to the overhead wiring of Tokaido Shinkansen behind an advertising tower, and damaged it. The dispersing roof reached a rear overhead wiring without colliding with an advertising tower of 14.6m in height on the leeward side. In this research, it aims to clarify the possibility of dispersing without colliding with the dispersion condition of the roof and the adjoining building by executing the wind tunnel experiment that examines the reduced scale rule closely.
