Numerical simulations of wind-driven rain on an array of low-rise cubic buildings and validation by field measurements
The relation between wind-driven rain (WDR) and its potential negative effects on the hygrothermal performance and durability of building facades can be better understood by the correct estimation of the spatial and temporal distribution of the WDR intensity. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations with Eulerian Multiphase (EM) modeling are used to obtain accurate spatial and temporal in...
متن کاملModelling wind-driven rain on buildings in urbanized area using 3-D GIS and LiDAR datasets
This study investigated the distribution of the fraction of rainfall intercepted by the facades of buildings located in an urbanized area. We used the frequently used semi-empirical standard ISO-15927-3 to simulate Wind-Driven Rain on facades. The implementation of the Norm on a neighbourhood scale required a list of parameters, including building geometry and terrain characteristics. For the f...
متن کاملCRITICAL INCIDENT ANGLE FOR THE MINIMUM COST DESIGN OF LOW, MID AND HIGH-RISE STEEL AND REINFORCED CONCRETE-COMPOSITE BUILDINGS
One of the main tasks of engineers is to design structural systems light and economic as possible, yet resistant enough to withstand all possible loads arising during their service life and to absorb the induced seismic energy in a controlled and predictable fashion. The traditional trial-and-error design approach is not capable to determine an economical design satisfying also the code require...
متن کاملDynamic Response of High-Rise Buildings to Stochastic Wind Loads
This paper presents results of a recent study addressing issues concerning the dynamic response of high-rise buildings. Utilizing a high-frequency base-balance, the alon~w;:~d, acrosswind and torsional components of aerodynamic loads and their statistical corm!ations for a wide range of generic building shapes of different aspect ratios in two approach flow conditions are quantified. A random-v...
متن کاملAssessment of Wind Load Effects on Low-rise Buildings Using Full-Scale Pressure Measurements
This study discusses the wind loads and their effects on Wind Engineering Research Field Laboratory (WERFL) building at Texas Tech University based on full-scale synchronous pressure measurements. The wind load effects on different frames are calculated and the results are compared to those determined based on the wind loads specified in ASCE7-05. Finally, the challenges faced in the modeling o...
