PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION ON BUILDINGS

Abstract

INVESTIGATIONS WERE CONDUCTED TO DETERMINE AIR FLOW PATTERNS AND INFILTRATION CHARACTERISTICS OF MILITARY-TYPE BUILDINGS BY MEANS OF SCALE MODELS. The following items were studied: (1) air flow patterns around model buildings at wind speeds ranging from approximately one to 20 mph, (2) amount of infiltration of particulate substances such as smokes into model buildings at wind speeds ranging from one to 20 mph, and (3) the minimum pressure required to prevent infiltration of particulate substances into the model buildings at wind speeds of approximately one to 20 mph and gusts up to approximately twenty mph.
