Subject: A number of post disaster investigations on wind-induced damage to low-rise buildings and houses have revealed that hip roofs have better performance than gable roofs during strong winds. Limited wind tunnel studies also showed that local negative peak pressures on gable roofs could be roughly 50% greater than those on hip roofs. These results have stimulated the present study to compare wind-induced pressures, fatigue loading, and fatigue damage to hip and gable roof claddings using wind tunnel test techniques and computer analyses
