This research focuses on the distribution change in fluctuating wind pressure coefficients with slope gradient. The variation of power spectra and wind pressure\u2019s probability distribution at representative measuring points with the slope gradient were also included. No obvious variation trend for the fluctuating wind pressure coefficient was identified on the windward side. When the slope gradient was 90\u00b0, there was just a slight change in distribution or value of the fluctuating wind pressure coefficient on the left. However, the coefficient on the leeward decreased and then increased, while on the roof, it gradually decreased. Furthermore, the experiments showed that the fluctuating wind pressure\u2019s distribution in the middle of windward eaves and at the leeward eaves was significantly affected by the slope gradient. At 0\u00b0 wind angle, the wind pressure probability density distribution gradually changes from symmetric to asymmetric at the measuring points of windward eaves and side centers when the slope gradient increases, which shows that the wind pressure probability density distribution changes from non-Gaussian to Gaussian.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym14122513","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,28]],"date-time":"2022-11-28T06:04:36Z","timestamp":1669615476000},"page":"2513","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Study on Probabilistic Properties of Fluctuating Wind Pressure Distribution of Low-Rise Buildings Affected by Slope Gradient in Mountain Forms"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Min","family":"Zhong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture and Engineering, Jiangsu Open University, Nanjing 210000, China"},{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Hebei University of Architecture, Zhangjiakou 075132, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2862-024X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bin","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Hainan University, Haikou 570228, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhengnong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Building Safety and Energy Efficiency of China Ministry of Education, Hunan University, Changsha 410082, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhanxue","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Hebei University of Architecture, Zhangjiakou 075132, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhongyang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Hebei University of Architecture, Zhangjiakou 075132, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"42","article-title":"Wind loads on low-rise buildings: Study on variation of near ground wind profiles","volume":"42","author":"Dai","year":"2009","journal-title":"Chin.
