ResumoThe BEATRICE-network offered the unique opportunity for an extended comparative wind tunnel study on low-rise buildings. Five models in six different boundary layers, i.e. at six different institutes of the network — representing more or less strictly two terrain categories — have been tested. The partner institutes involved in this comparative study are AIB, BRE, CSTB, DMI, NLR and TNO (in alphabetic order). To answer the question to what extent a change of the boundary layer characteristics is able to influence the results in terms of local pressures, global forces and responses of the structure, large sample sizes of 240 individual events have been recorded each corresponding to approx. 10 min in full scale. The paper summarises the basic ideas used in the analysis and presents some first results and conclusions.
