Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 13, pp. 217-228, 1983 Comparison of model and full-scale accelerations of a high-rise building Dalgliesh, W. A.; Cooper, K. R.; Templin, J. T. On a obserfe pendant plusieurs annks les acc'el6rations produites lors de vents mod'erik 1 forts au "Commerce Court
Journal of WindTower" de Toronto, au Canada, ainsi que l'effet de torsion aux Stages sup'erieurs du batiment. Les observations sur place et sur mod3le de la deviation normale de 1'acc'elSration correspondent pour la plupart des directions du vent. Les implications des r6sultats de cette dtude pour la conception des structures au moyen d'essais en soufflerie ou d'une methode de calcul basfie sur le Code, sont examinges.

sufficient full-scale data exist. A method of treating peak pressures is proposed based on the fit of an exponential distribution to a population of "significant independent events, " called pressure spikes. This distribution provides a good fit to both full-scale and wind tunnel results, which generally agree.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
