In addition, buildings are realized in which the facade level through which the air can flow is the sole building closure, such as modern parking garages. For such wind-permeable fa\u00e7ade systems (the degree of opening is usually over 50%), there have been hardly any realistic load assumptions up to now, which would do justice to the complex interaction of the flow around the entire building and the local flow behavior.<\/p>\n<p>At the CWE extensive investigations in the laminar flow channel and boundary layer wind tunnel were carried out to realistically evaluate the wind load situation for such fa\u00e7ade structures. This resulted in recommendations that take into account the nature and local geometry of the permeable fa\u00e7ade elements as well as the installation situation on the respective building structure.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-758 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cwe.rwth-aachen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Windbelastung_2_C.png\" alt=\"Windbelastung_2_C\" width=\"292\" height=\"163\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-759 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cwe.rwth-aachen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Windbelastung_3_C.png\" alt=\"Windbelastung_3_C\" width=\"430\" height=\"163\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another focus of the research work was the evaluation of wind induced vibrations of prestressed membrane-like facade structures.
