Abstract

The wavelet transform is a promising tool for the analysis of incident wind and wind loading on structures. The continuous wavelet transform is applied to full-scale velocity and pressure measurements, taken at the main building of Eindhoven University of Technology. Initial results indicate that there is a continuous interchange of energy between the scales, both in the wind velocity and in the pressures. It is concluded that the small scales are typical for the occurrence of peaks in the pressures.
