Wind pressure coefficients for roof ventilation purposes
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2018

Wind pressure coefficients (c p ) are important inputs for analytical calculations of wind load. The aim of this research is to investigate wind pressure coefficients on a test house located in Norway in order to pave the way for improved analysis of wind-driven roofing ventilation. The large-scale test measurements show that the wind pressure coefficient along the eaves of the house varies with different wind approach angles. Assuming wind-driven air flow through the air cavity beneath the roofing, an average Δc p ¯ value of 0.7 is derived for practical engineering purposes. The results from the study are applicable for single or two-storey houses with pitched roofs at different roof angles.
