Abstract text:
Often tall buildings and other large constructions affect unfavourably the wind comfort conditions at pedestrian level on the adjacent areas. In their attempt to ameliorate these negative effects of wind action, urban professionals use for some cases flat-type protection systems. This paper presents some data on the characteristics and effectiveness of such windbreak screens, resulting from the study of physical models in wind tunnel located in turbulent boundary layer.
Key Words:
tall buildings; large constructions; negative effects; wind action; wind comfort; windbreak screens
