| Résumé | The wind load provisions for gabled roofs with a slope of 27° < α < 45° in the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) were derived from wind tunnel studies conducted in the 1970s. The coefficients have remained basically unchanged until this time. The paper presents the results of full-scale measurements and wind tunnel experiments to verify the necessity to update the current NBCC provisions. A full-scale building with a gabled roof of 45° was instrumented with pressure taps, and the wind load was monitored for 15 months. Special attention is given to the roof overhang by considering the simultaneous pressure contribution from both the upper and lower surfaces. The building and surroundings were replicated at a wind tunnel scale and investigated by Concordia University and Western University. Based on these three sources of data, the study concluded that the corner and edge provisions for both cases—a roof with and without overhang—need to be increased. It is suggested to merge the corner and edge into a single “perimeter” load provision. This code simplification would help the roofing industry to reduce misleading interpretations of the code and minimize failure due to installation errors. |
