Thanks Thaidavid - this is for the ground floor and yours is a good point. Additionally the benefit of 50% voidage if using a solidity ratio based Cf is somewhat marginal in this case.
Am designing for wind loads to mesh paneling that is attached to a high rise. It has approx 50% opacity to wind. I trust that it is best to utilize the Components and Cladding approach utilizing velocity pressure of the height of the building for leeward wind.
My question is: do you apply...
Outside of ATI in Fresno, is there a test agency local to Los Angeles that provides measurement of temperatures of a test structure due to sun exposure to allow for input of that data into FEA for thermal stresss calcs? Also direct strain gauges measurements for verification of that data.
