Abstract:The wind pressure distribution characteristics on two panel and three panel billboards supported by single column were studied with wind tunnel model tests. The distribution characteristics of mean and fluctuating wind pressure coefficients in different wind directions, the influences of different wind directions on mean and fluctuating wind pressure coefficients and the frequency domain characteristics of the fluctuating wind pressure of typical pressure taps on the surfaces of the panels were discussed. The results show that the absolute values of mean wind pressure coefficients on each panel decrease with the increase of wind direction; the absolute values of mean wind pressure coefficients and fluctuating wind pressure coefficients near the edge of leeward panels are larger than those on the interior areas of leeward panels; either the superimposition or offset of the wind pressure exists on both surfaces of a single panel in various approaching directions; the main frequency of fluctuating wind pressure spectra of the outside surface of windward panel is lower than that of internal surface of leeward panel, and so is the energy. In comparison ,the bandwidth of fluctuating wind pressure spectra of internal surfaces of panels are wider and the energies are lower; the local wind pressure coefficients on the surfaces of panels are greatly influenced by the columns of billboards.
