For rectangular blocks under surface wind façade coefficients, why do corner strips usually attract higher suction/pressure coefficients than interior wall fields?

Choices

  • (A) Assume uniform cladding pressure everywhere
  • (B) Corners and ridges experience amplified zone coefficients relative to sheltered mid‑field cladding
  • (C) Ignore convex curvature of windward façade
  • (D) Building height irrelevant to cladding zoning

Correct answer: (B)

Corners and ridges experience amplified zone coefficients relative to sheltered mid‑field cladding

Explanation

Vortex-corner effects justify higher tributary cladding loads.
