Abstract
A field research facility has been constructed at Texas Tech University to study wind effects on low rise buildings. Internal pressure data is collected and analyzed for both static and sudden opening conditions. A cross-correlation analysis is performed for internal and external pressures. The internal pressure data is also compared to internal pressure values given in ASCE 7-88.
