<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p>Present paper describes details of the experimental study carried out on the models of
industrial building with north-light roof in order to generate the information about wind
pressure distribution on it. The models are tested in a closed circuit boundary layer
wind tunnel to measure values of wind pressures on roof surface. Four cases namely
one, two, three and four spans are considered. The side of Perspex sheet model in case
of multi-span study places plywood models. Wind is made to hit the models at 13 wind
incidence angles from 0° to 180° at an interval of 15°. Values of mean wind pressure
coefficients are evaluated from the measured values of wind pressures and contours are
plotted.</p>
