Any pics for shielding

Any pics for shielding

(OP)
Has anybody have a pic that shows wind load on a structure that shielding is a case?

I appreciate it.

RE: Any pics for shielding

I tried to find pictures of snow drifts at roof top structures showing wind shielding and had a lot of difficulty. However, for a whole building you may have better luck. I would think snow drifts would be your best bet for showing wind shielding.

TehMightyEngineer,
Never thought of snow as wind shield? that was new to me. Are u sure?

RE: Any pics for shielding

It is supposed to work as a visualisation...

RE: Any pics for shielding

What kingnero said, a lack of drifting snow can show where wind was unable to reach a location. You would need a picture showing drifted snow on the shielding items and the lack of drifts on the shielded structure.
