Investigation of wind loading on a ‘sawtooth’ multiple hyperbolic paraboloid (HP) shell roof was performed by model test in a wind tunnel. Wind pressure distribution on the roof and the walls of the building were determined for various wind directions. Average suctions and highest suctions on ‘sawtooth’ and ‘normal’ roof having the same plan dimensions were compared.
