EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH ON WIND LOAD DISTRIBUTION OF FOUR-CENTER-CIRCLE COAL SHED

According to the requirements of engineering design and experimental research, the wind tunnel tests on a large-span coal shed structure for a thermal power plant were carried out. The influence of wind direction angle on wind-load-shape coefficient was studied. After analyzing the shape coefficient of each measuring point under different working conditions, the wind-load-shape coefficients on the structure surface were obtained. The results showed that: the measuring point had the largest volume coefficient when the angle between the measuring point and the incoming wind was among 30 ~ 40 degree; at different wind direction angles, the coefficients at the top and the edge areas of the model were relatively large, therefore, these areas should be strengthened when building a coal shed.
