John D. Holmes, Research Scientist from CSIRO Australia, spent three months at Texas Tech University conducting research on this project. He contributed significantly in the design of the reference pressure system and in analysis of measured data. The authors thank Eleanora Sabadell and Michael P. Gaus of the U.S. National Science Foundation for providing continued encouragement for this project. The advisory panel of Richard Kennon, Henry Liu, Richard Marshall, Dale Perry, Jon Peterka, Timothy Reinhold and Dave Surry has provided valuable input to the conduct of the project; their collective contribution is gratefully acknowledged. The research is conducted under Grants CES8611601 and BCS8902423 from the U.S. National Science Foundation.

N2 - Early results from the field experiment at Texas Tech University to determine wind pressures on a low-rise building are reported. The capability to rotate the building has provided useful, consistent ensembles of 15-min records for two angles-of-attack: 90° (wind normal to the long walls) and 60°. Mean, rms and peak pressure coefficients are presented for 11 points on the walls and roof along the centerline of the building. Mean wind speed, turbulence intensity, power-law exponent and roughness length data are given for use in wind tunnel testing. The design of the reference pressure system and the effects of moving average filters on the peak pressures are also discussed.
