STUDY ON WIND LOADS ON COMPONENTS AND CLADDING ON LOW-RISE BUILDING WITH GABLE ROOF

For a gable roof low-rise building, 2,000 10-minute samples of the peak pressure coefficients were measured and the probability distributions were evaluated using extreme value distribution. Using information on the probability distribution and coefficient of variation (cov), adjusting coefficients were evaluated and compared with the results on flat roof low-rise buildings. Lastly, probability distributions of wind loads on components and cladding were evaluated and it was found that Frechet distribution fits well in most cases, and cov of wind load can be evaluated reasonably well when covs of design wind speed and peak pressure coefficient were less than 10%.
