Field Experiments for Wind Pressures

一座测试用的低层建筑和一座 气象塔建在开放的， 德州理工大学的平坦地形。 的 测试建筑可以自动旋转 一个小块，并充分利用收集 结构内外压力 由于大风， 该地区 风的特点是 在160英尺高的塔上进行的测量 并且数据以数字形式记录。 的 目前的项目是最后确定 仪器的校准 建筑和塔，并开始 采集、分析和传播场 风和建筑物表面压力数据。

A test, low-rise building and a meteorological tower have been built on open, flat terrain at Texas Tech University. The test building can be rotated automatically on a tract and is fully instrumented to gather structural external and internal pressures due to high winds which are quite prevalent in the area. Winds are characterized by measurements taken at the 160 ft tall tower and data is recorded in digital form. The present project is to finalize the calibration of the instrumentation in the building and the tower, and to start acquiring, analyzing and disseminating field wind and building surface pressure data.
