Wind Loads on Stadiums and Long-span Roofs

Wind Loads on Stadiums and Long-span Roofs

Stadiums and long-span roofs can experience complex local pressures and dynamic effects that are not well represented by simple code assumptions. Wind tunnel testing provides pressure distributions for roof cladding, support systems and the main structural frame.

These studies support efficient design for stadiums, transport hubs, canopies and large roof structures where uplift and fluctuating pressures are key design drivers.
