Further Analysis of Non-Gaussian Wind Pressure Peak Factor Calculation

Table 3

Comparison of fluctuating wind pressure spectrum and Davenport spectrum in typical regions.

RegionRelationship between fluctuating wind pressure and Davenport spectrumWhether the quasisteady assumption is satisfied

Windward sideThe fluctuating wind pressure spectrum on the building surface is very close to Davenport spectrum and Kaimal spectrumIt is in good agreement with the quasisteady assumption

Separation zoneThe fluctuating wind pressure spectrum on building surface is quite different from Davenport spectrumThe quasisteady assumption is not satisfied
Wake areaIt is generally consistent with the quasisteady assumption
