Wind Pressure Test
Wind pressure tests are generally conducted to evaluate design wind loads
for exterior cladding systems of buildings, as well as for roof structures such as those used in stadiums

In wind pressure tests, local wind pressures acting on a rigid model are measured using a multi-point pressure measurement system via pressure transmission tubes. From the time-history data of the measured pressures, external pressure coefficients (mean, RMS, and peak values) are evaluated to determine the design wind pressure. Since local wind pressures can vary depending on the fidelity of the test model, it is crucial to ensure detailed reproduction during model fabrication. Special attention must also be paid to the calibration of the pressure transmission characteristics of the tubing system. Additionally, wind pressure tests are used to evaluate design wind loads for open structural components such as parapets and canopies. Using the wind pressure integral method, wind pressure tests can yield results equivalent to those obtained from HFFB tests.
