Wind loading on a portal frame agricultural building

Abstract This paper presents some early results from a wind tunnel study of the flow around portal frame agricultural buildings. The data include external and internal pressure distribution on scaled models and comparisons are made with full-scale measurements on the Silsoe Structures Building at AFRC Engineering in the United Kingdom.
