A series of wind tunnel tests was conducted on the fluttering and scattering behavior of “hikkake-san-gaware”, a hook type rooftiles, which arc used widely for roofings of Japanese wooden dwellings . 1/20 scale models of two-storied dwellings of a rectangular plan and 1/20 miniature rooftile models made by brass cast were used for the test . The boundary layer was realized in the wind tunnel corresponded to that on rural districts,
Following results were obtained:
(1) The spatial distribution of rooftile scattering was non-symmetric, Rooffiles on the right side roofs were susceptible to scattering .
(2) Locations of fastening in the customary tile-roofing works was effective to prevent roof tile scattering in strong winds of loss than about 40m/s .
(3) Based on the consideration on the wind resistant mechanism iu hikkake-sangawara roofing system, the value of wind force coefficient for the first fluttering of rooltiles was obtained .
