  • Determining the wind uplift analysis of your next project is important to make important decisions in your next product material selection and optimal overall design. The wind flow-building interaction is a complex feature that can only be interpreted in two ways: a complete analytical calculation procedure using specified formulae and a wind tunnel analysis. The analytical calculation procedure is a fast, reliable and the most widely used procedure as opposed to wind tunnel analysis which constitute major costs by preparing scale models of the project in question and subjected to wind speeds in different directions in a certified wind tunnel which constitute major expenses. Despite wind tunnel analysis provides accurate wind uplift analysis, such procedure is usually implemented in large projects such as an overall study of a tall building or mega structures such as bridges. The wind speeds are affected by the wind exposure conditions and building geometry as these structures considered bluff bodies constitute a different shape factor in aerodynamic studies. Different geometrical configurations can constitute large fluctuations in the wind pressure coefficients on every surface of the structure when high wind flows interact with the building structure. Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) winds also known as synoptic straigh line winds or mesoscale winds from downbursts and tornadoes can harshly affect your design and excacerbate wind uplift pressures. For this reason, to help you select your next roofing and cladding design, you can count with Calcudraft Engineering which have studied the wind interaction of structures and can help you understand this process. Please note that we at Calcudraft can offer free consulting to help you in selecting your best project decisions to counteract wind pressures. Please select on the icon or special project icon that best resembles your project to prepare a complete wind uplift analysis.
