<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p>The distribution and fluctuation of wind load on large-span dry coal sheds are
complicated. Wind load on typical shape of roofs can be sometimes determined based
on the wind tunnel tests carried out on roofs of similar shape. To expand the
application scope of the test data, Generalized Regression Neural Network (GRNN) is
introduced. The prediction models on large-span dry coal are given, where the wind
load is expressed by eight parameters: mean, RMS, skewness, kurtosis of wind pressure
coefficients, three auto-spectral parameters (including descendent slope in high
frequency range, peak reduced spectrum and reduced peak frequency) and coherence
exponent for cross-spectra. Cross validation and trails are carried out to determine the
parameter in the GRNN model. Further, the wind load prediction is applied on a dry
coal shed shell. The wind-induced responses are calculated and compared with the
results of wind tunnel tests, with extremely close result. Therefore, it can be concluded
that GRNN is feasible in predicting wind load on roof structures.</p>
