Abstract
Reliable prediction of the wind loads on the structures and cladding of glasshouses is essential to their safe and economic design. To provide data on wind loads, measurements were made on five shapes of glasshouse, under natural wind conditions and generally over a 90° range of direction. The experimental procedure is described and detailed results are presented together with an outline of the data analysis by a novel technique which takes into account short-term fluctuations in wind direction. Consideration is given to the parameters which must be included in a rationalised design procedure and a simplification of the detailed results is presented in the Appendix in a form which would be convenient for use in design and which is readily comparable with established codes.
