Why can wind suction coefficients differ materially between adjacent zones on one warehouse roof?

Choices

  • (A) Corners and parapet turbulence localise vortices altering external pressure polygons
  • (B) Building codes forbid zone-wise coefficients on low-rise envelopes
  • (C) Uniform pressure applies whenever roof slopes stay under five degrees
  • (D) Adjacent compartments always share identical Cp

Correct answer: (A)

Corners and parapet turbulence localise vortices altering external pressure polygons

Explanation

Cp maps depend on windward/leeward tributaries not uniform blanket values.
