本研究使用風洞實驗研究半圓柱形隧道式溫室的風力負載,實驗入流流況為紊流邊界層流,在不同風向角下,利用高頻率的壓力掃描計量測單棟、二連棟與三連棟半圓柱溫室表面風壓的分佈及瞬間變化,再用甘保機率分佈計算極值風壓,並探討室外紊流強度與陣風因子的關係,以計算建築物的最大風載。研究結果發現:最大負壓皆發生在溫室頂部,風向角22.5°的最大負壓大於風向角0°時的最大負壓,且實驗量測得之溫室外牆的時間平均風壓係數符合「建築物耐風設計規範及解說」(2015)所建議的風壓係數,但耐風設計規範(2015)所建議之陣風因子偏小,無法承受瞬間發生的極值風壓,建議增大陣風因子。本研究之成果可提供半圓柱形溫室的耐風結構設計之用,亦有助於吾人對圓形物體上風壓分佈、分離點及極值風壓的瞭解。
This study uses wind tunnel experiments to investigate the pressure distribution and wind load of semi-circular greenhouses. The instantaneous pressures on the surface of the greenhouse are measured by a multi-channel pressure scanner under different wind directions and arrangements. The experimental results showed that when the time-averaged pressure coefficient of oblique wind (wind direction 22.5°) is larger than that of wind direction normal to the ridge line (wind direction 0°). In addition, the peak pressure is several times larger than the time-average pressure, and the gust effect factor suggested by the Wind Resistance Design Code of Taiwan is not sufficient to protect the semi-circular greenhouses against the peak pressure caused by the turbulent wind. The results of this study not only facilitate a better understanding of the peak pressure around circular-bodies, but also to provide the needed information for the structural design of the arch-roof greenhouses.
