Abstract
The components of a comprehensive model study involving both meteorological and wind tunnel investigations are discussed. An application of the procedures is illustrated by a case study involving a building of intermediate height and unusual geometry. The effectiveness of the wind tunnel study is presented in terms of comparisons of the resulting predicted loads with those derived from building codes, and in terms of the improved knowledge of wind action available to the designer.
