Abstract
A wind pressure loading cycle has been developed that aims to simulate the fluctuating wind loads experienced by wall cladding during the pa ssage of a hurricane. Hour long wind pressure records from the Texas T ech University (TTU) Wind Engineering Research Field Laboratory (WERFL ) have been used to derive the loading cycle.
