Subject: A model-scale and full-scale comparison of wind pressures and fatigue loading on the Texas Tech University Building has been carried out at the James Cook Cyclone Testing Station. The results from this study indicate that wind tunnel techniques can be used as an economic and efficient way to determine wind pressures and fatigue loading on low-rise buildings, but caution should be given to the largest negative peak pressures at roof edge and corners
