Full-scale pressure coefficients obtained from a 57-storey building in Toronto and wind tunnel results from tests in the 9 m by 9 m wind tunnel at the National Research Council of Canada are compared and demonstrate good agreement where sufficient full-scale data exist. A method of treating peak pressures is proposed based on the fit of an exponential distribution to a population of "significant independent events," called pressure spikes. This distribution provides a good fit to both full-scale and wind tunnel results, which generaly agree.Les auteurs comparent les coefficients de pression en grandeur r\ue9elle obtenus pour un \ue9difice de 57 \ue9tages \ue0 Toronto avec ceux obtenus dans la soufflerie de 9 m sur 9 m du Conseil national de...
