PRESSURES ON A 1 10-SCALE-MODEL OF THE TEXAS-TECH BUILDING/

Measurements of wind pressures on a one-tenth scale model of the Texas Tech Building in a large wind tunnel are described. The mean and RMS pressure coefficients obtained from the model for critical corner tapp ings for oblique wind directions, are in excellent agreement with the corresponding full-scale values. The largest minimum pressure coeffici ents for these tappings are approximately 20% less in magnitude than t he corresponding full-scale values. The increased Reynolds number for the present test series is believed to play a significant part in the greatly improved agreement obtained.
