- Abstract
The article discusses experimental investigations of wind effects and use of design codes for solving aerodynamic problems. It provides data regarding wind-tunnel tests conducted on three buildings with poorly streamlined shapes, including: methodology and test conditions, aerodynamic properties of the designed structures, features of physical models and research results. All three civil buildings are multi-purpose stadiums of the European level. Despite the identical functional purpose, each building has a unique shape and volume. The paper analyses and compares testing conditions in the wind tunnel and some selective results. The authors propose a criterion for estimating aerodynamic properties of the overhanging roof over spectator stands. The article also considers dependencies of model surface pressures on airflow directions under various test conditions.
