Abstract

The characteristics of wind forces on sunblinds and the characteristics of the vibrations were investigated through full-scale measurements in natural wind. The sunblinds were installed on the outside walls of a building. The results obtained from this study are as follows: 1. The mean and fluctuating wind forces (r.m.s) on the sunblinds were small, but the peak wind forces, which occur intermittently, were large. 2. The maximum peak force coefficient was about 1, and acts upward on the sunblind set on the front wall. On the sunblind on the sidewall, the maximum peak force coefficient was the same but downward. 3. The wind responses of the sunblinds were large when peak wind forces occurred.
