| Research Abstract |
First, the characteristics of downbursts was investigated based on the review of the previous studies as well as of the damage investigations conducted by the Japanese Meteorological Agency and so on. Then, information about the design of tornado simulators was obtained from some universities and institutes in Japan and North America. Based on these surveys, a downburst simulator was designed and constructed. A discussion was made of the measuring method of wind loads on buildings induced by downbursts.
