| Abstract | ||
| The paper addresses the suitability of wind pressure coefficients specified in contemporaryrndesign standards and codes of practice for gable roofs of intermediate slope (roof angle 10 o -30 o ). In arnrecent research study, a series of low building models with different roof slopes in this intermediate rangernwere tested in a boundary layer wind tunnel under simulated open country terrain conditions. This wasrndifferent from the original study in the 70 | ||
