<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p>The present study gives information related to wind pressure distribution on single span
and multi span circular canopy roofs. The experiments are carried out in an open
circuit boundary layer wind tunnel. Wind pressure is measured on both upper and
lower roof surfaces of circular canopy roof model made of Perspex sheet. Models are
tested under varying wind incidence angles between 0° and 90° at an interval of 15° on
isolated model and 0° to 180° at an interval of 30° on models with multi-span canopy
roof. Values of mean wind pressure coefficients are evaluated from the measured
values of wind pressures. Results of the study are presented in the form of contours,
cross sectional variation and face average values of pressure coefficients. The results
of the study are of great use for the structural designers for designing circular canopy
roofs.</p>
