A study of wind load and snowdrifts on a wide greenhouse

For the wind pressure and snowdrift test performed, experiments using two wind tunnels were conducted in this paper. The wind pressure test was conducted in an Eiffel-type wind tunnel with a test section size of 1.7 m (height) × 2.0 m (width). A test on the phenomenon of snowdrifts was conducted in a closed-type wind tunnel with a test section size of 0.6 m (height) × 0.9 m (width). The boundary layers formed within the wind tunnel were in a suburban area.
