1) Direct approach : simultaneous time histories from the whole roof are recorded
and stored. Later weighted with structural influence coefficients to obtain time
histories of load effects. Instantaneous pressure distributions are identified and
averaged.
Correlations for separated parts of a large roof are low: hence potential
for significant reduction in peak effective loads and peak load effects
(b.m.s, axial forces etc.)
