28、ban Subsurface Drainage96 Guide to Improved EarthquakePerformance of Electric PowerSystems97 Hydraulic Modeling: Concepts andPracticeFOREWORDThe first edition of the Manual of Practice for Wind Tunnel Studies of Build-ings and Structures was published in 1987. The wind engineering field con-tinues t
29、o evolve, and this update of that manual emphasizes the circum-stances under which tests might be needed, the types of tests that might beperformed and the physical principles that need to be followed to ensuremeaningful results.This edition of the Manual has two parts. Part 1 is an updated version
30、ofASCE Manual 67 with an added section on Atmospheric Dispersion AroundBuildings. Part 2 is a Commentary, which provides supporting informationon the methodologies needed and examples of typical tests. It also includesa bibliography.This Manual has been prepared by a Task Committee formed under thea

34、tant properties of atmospheric turbulence, in particular the rele-vant length scales of the longitudinal turbulence component, shall beMODELING THE WIND 11modeled to approximately the same scale as that used to model build-ings or structures; and3. the longitudinal pressure gradient in the wind-tunn
35、el test sectionshould be sufficiently small as not to significantly affect the results.These requirements can be satisfied for a range of model scales by repro-ducing most of the atmospheric boundary layer. For low-rise structures, it isusually sufficient to simulate the lower part of the ABL only.
36、For these appli-cations reproduction of the flow properties in the atmospheric surface layer(depth zs = 100 m or lowest 10% of the ABL) is recommended. Typically,over flat terrain with uniform roughness, the turbulent stresses in this layershould vary no more than 10 to 25% of values at z = 0. For m
37、any wind-tun-nel model tests, a more complete simulation of all aspects of the turbulentABL flow is necessary. For example, simulation of the vertical component ofturbulence is important in some wind-tunnel model studies of long-spanbridges.For air-pollution studies, in which turbulent diffusion is
38、important rela-tive to advective transport, thermal stratification of the ABL (particularly theatmospheric surface layer) can have significant consequences. An additionalmodeling requirement for thermally stratified ABL flows is that the bulkRichardson number, which represents the ratio of buoyancy
39、forces to iner-tia! forces, shall be equal for the full- and model-scale approach flows. Analternative modeling criterion is that zg/Lmo, where Lmo is the Monin-Obukhov stability length, be equal for model and prototype.2.4 TOPOGRAPHIC MODELSInformation on the characteristics of the full-scale wind
40、applicable to thespecific site may not be available in situations of complex topography or ter-rain. In such situations small-scale topographic models, constructed at scalesin the range of 1:1000 to 1:5000, can be effective for estimating the full-scalemean flow field. Such data can form the basis f
41、or the subsequent modelingof the wind at a larger scale, as required for studying wind effects on build-ings and structures. If a meteorological station exists within the bounds ofthe topographical model, wind data measured at this location on the modelcan be used to correlate the station wind data
42、with wind characteristics atthe site of the building.2.5 NEAR HELDNearby significant buildings, structures, and topographic features collec-tively modify the approach flow and should be included as part of the12 WIND TUNNEL STUDIES OF BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURESmodel for simulations of wind at a partic
43、ular location. In urban settings, themodeling of this near field typically requires the scaled reproduction of allmajor buildings and structures within about 300 to 800 m from the site andusually covers the entire turntable of the wind tunnel. The degree of modeldetail, used in these near-field or p
44、roximity models, can be reduced with dis-tance from the site, and block outline representations of buildings are usu-ally acceptable.2.6 INFLUENCE OF SPECIFIC STRUCTURESInclusion of specific nearby structures in the proximity model ensuresthat their effects on local wind characteristics are properly
45、 accounted for inthe wind-tunnel simulation. In some situations, it becomes important also toinclude possible aerodynamic influences of major buildings or structuresbeyond the proximity model on the turntable with a diameter that normallyis equal to the wind-tunnel test-section width. Such buildings
46、 or structuresshould be placed upwind of the proximity model for appropriate winddirections.The possible adverse influence of future adjacent buildings or structuresis often considered in wind-tunnel tests. In the absence of precise informa-tion, approximate massing models are used to examine the se
47、nsitivity of var-ious wind effects to possible future construction. Adverse effects are morelikely in areas of new development, as there is a greater possibility for aero-dynamic interference between isolated buildings or groups of buildings sur-rounded by lower structures or open terrain. The influ
48、ence of specific newconstruction in built-up cities, with many other buildings of comparablesize, is usually less pronounced.In some situations, the scope of a wind-tunnel study is expanded toexamine the influence of the building under study on wind effects for exist-ing nearby buildings and structu
49、res. This extended examination usuallyincludes measurements on the existing buildings and structures with andwithout the building under study in place.2.7 SELECTION OF GEOMETRIC SCALE2.7.1 Consistent Modeling of All LengthsThe geometric scale of the model of a building or structure should be cho-sen to maintain, as closely as possible, equality of model and prototype ratiosof overall building dimensions to the important meteorological lengths of themodeled approach wind. Depending on the structure studied, th
