Wind Tunnel Study Of Wind-Induced Loads On Building Balconies, Tingzhou Tong
Wind Tunnel Study Of Wind-Induced Loads On Building Balconies, Tingzhou Tong
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The wind-induced pressure coefficients for the balcony guardrail design are based on the provision of wall cladding and components provided in building codes, such as the National Building Code of Canada 2015. However, the balcony guard’s failure frequently occurred, which caused a number of accidents and casualties in the past years. This work studies the wind-induced pressure coefficients on the two typical balconies guard models, an isolated balcony and a continuous balcony, based on various wind direction, wind speeds, and balcony configurations through wind tunnel test. The test results in the wind tunnel are compared with the provisions of the …
