Full- and model-scale cladding pressures on the Texas Tech University experimental building

Abstract Extensive pressure data have been collected on a 1:100 and 1:50 model of the Texas Tech University (TTU) experimental building in a wind-tunnel simulated Atmospheric 3urface Layer (ASL). Sample data are presented and discussed. Comparison with the full-scale results from TTU are presented and show generally good agreement; however, the largest peak suctions are often underestimated by the model data measured at edge and corner roof locations. Some ideas are presented here to possibly explain these model-scale, full-scale anomalies.
