Description:

Participated in a research project that investigated the wind load on elevated structures. The investigation with numerical analysis and testing of a model at the Wall of Wind facility. Previous testing and numerical analysis of the elevated house showed that pressure was higher than conventional houses. In this project, contiued analysis and model testing was used to confirm previous findings and investigate elevated houses further. Information that follows will highlight the summer process.
