Analysis of Pressure Distribution on a Single-Family Building Caused by Standard and Heavy Winds Based on a Numerical Approach

The aim of this research is to analyze the pressure distribution caused by wind pressure on the structure of a single-family house. The research object is a model reflecting a real structure, which was damaged in 2018 because of heavy winds. The main idea is to create numerical models using various complex structural analysis software and compare the results. The obtained results will be compared with each other to analyze the impact of various factors, hereinafter referred to as boundary conditions, on the pressure values in characteristic places of the facility. The values closest to the normal distribution will be compared to the actual damage to the house structure. The essence of the research will be the identification of phenomena occurring during the action of heavy winds in global conditions (European and American), considering modifications and different ways of creating seemingly similar numerical models and the way they work. Everything will be compared with each other to find the most optimal design method in the given programs and to obtain wind pressure results that are closest to the real ones.
