A wind tunnel model study was carried out on long, low-rise buildings with a steep roof pitch to determine the effect of the length-to-span aspect ratio on the external wind pressure distributions. The study showed a significant increase in the magnitude of the negative pressure coefficients on the
Wind tunnel test data on generic low buildings have been obtained at the University of Western Ontario (UWO) to contribute to the NIST aerodynamic database. In Part 1 the basic data and archiving format are presented. In the present paper, data from two models of different roof slope (1:12 and 3:12)
