A High-Fidelity Dataset of Surface Pressure Measurements on Prismatic Buildings from Boundary-Layer Wind Tunnel Tests: Part IV - High-Rise Prismatic Buildings with Square Cross-Sections and Flat Roofs

Description:

This repository contains detailed boundary-layer wind tunnel façade pressure measurements for three modular high-rise buildings with flat roofs, representing slenderness ratios λ = 4, 6, and 8. The experiments were conducted at a geometric scale of 1:150 under terrain category II/III inflow conditions. Each model façade was instrumented with high spatial resolution, and pressure coefficient time series were recorded for 32 inflow directions in 11.25° increments, using 30 statistically independent storm events per direction. The HDF5 datasets include pre-processed, tubing-corrected pressure coefficient time series, along with statistical datasets covering mean values, distribution moments, Gumbel-based characteristic pressures, and peak factors relevant for fatigue assessments and structural design. Each building model is supplemented by a PDF datasheet with geometry information, tap layout, and representative evaluation figures.

The structure of all datasets follows the documentation described in the corresponding Datapaper, which provides a complete overview of the experimental setup, preprocessing methods, data organization, and underlying FAIR principles.

This repository supports applications in wind engineering, tall building design, fatigue assessment, and CFD validation for high-rise structures.
