The use of the wind tunnel as a building design tool has become much more commonplace in recent years. Many structural engineers find that the assessment of structural loads and cladding pressures via physical modeling in the wind tunnel generates a better structural design with improved confidence in the final product. Recent developments in wind-tunnel technology have expanded the usefulness of data generated for the structural engineer and so allow the team to explore unique geometries, unusual load combinations, and dynamically sensitive structures, or portions of structures.
