title = "Uncertainties in the estimation of peak pressures on low-rise buildings with Gumbel fitting approach",
abstract = "This paper examines the uncertainties associated with a Gumbel fitting approach to estimate local peak pressure coefficients from wind tunnel data of the duration commonly found in practice. The sources of uncertainty include the use of short duration records (in practice) as well as the assumption that the observed peaks from wind tunnel pressure data are Gumbel distributed. Empirical cumulative distributions of local peak values are generated from very long wind tunnel time histories and provide a benchmark against which to evaluate the precision and accuracy of the method that assume the peaks are Gumbel distributed. This paper demonstrates that with a time scale appropriate for design, an equivalent full-scale duration of 100 min of data can achieve reasonably accurate local peak pressure estimates.",
