Trial construction of a downburst simulator and its application to wind load evaluation on buildings

首先，在回顾前人研究成果的基础上，结合日本气象厅等机构的灾害调查，对下爆的特征进行了研究。然后，从日本和北美的一些大学和研究所获得了有关龙卷风模拟器设计的信息。在此基础上，设计并搭建了下击模拟器。讨论了下爆风对建筑物风荷载的测量方法。

First, the characteristics of downbursts was investigated based on the review of the previous studies as well as of the damage investigations conducted by the Japanese Meteorological Agency and so on. Then, information about the design of tornado simulators was obtained from some universities and institutes in Japan and North America. Based on these surveys, a downburst simulator was designed and constructed. A discussion was made of the measuring method of wind loads on buildings induced by downbursts.
