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.
