14.32
mansard roof
roof with two slopes on all four sides, the lower slope steeper than the upper slope
Note 1 to entry: A mansard roof with the upper slopes less than 10° may be assumed tobe flat topped,
14.33
monoslope roof
planar roof with a constant slope and without a ridge
Note 1 toentry: See also sklion roof (1.4.46).
14.34
obstructions
natural or man-made objects that generate turbulent wind flow, ranging from single trees to forests
and from isolated small structures to closely spaced multi-storey buildings
1.4.35
offshore structures
fixed or floating platforms, jetties, towers or poles
Note 1 to entry: This Standard only applies to offshore structures within 30 km from the nearest coastline of
‘Australian or New Zealand territory.
1.4.36
permeable
surface with an aggregation of small openings, cracks, and the like, which allows air to pass through
under the action of a pressure differential
14.37
pitched roof
bi-fold, bi-planar roof (two sloping surfaces) meeting at a ridge
14.38
Pressure
air pressure referenced to ambient air pressure
Note 1 to entry: In this Standard, negative values are less than ambient (suction), positive values exceed ambient.
Net pressures act normal to a surface inthe direction specified,
14.39
pressure coefficient
ratio of the pressure acting at the point on a surface, to the free-stream dynamic pressure of the
incident wind
1.4.40
rectangular building
building generally made up of rectangular shapes in plan
Note 1 to entry: See Section for calculation ofthe aerodynamic shape factor for rectangular buildings.
14.41
Reynolds number
Re
ratio of the inertial forces to the viscous forces in the airflow
14.42
ridge (topographic feature)
two-dimensional crest or chain of hills with sloping faces on either side ofthe crest
