Abstract As the current wind load standard for agricultural facilities is not applicable as a load standard for internal buildings, and a more accurate wind load evaluation standard for agricultural facilities is required. In this study wind tunnel experiments on the distribution of wind pressure coefficients for prototype agricultural facilities of livestock shed and glass greenhouse are performed. In livestock shed, wind pressure coefficient on the roof surface in the upward direction was higher than that in the downward direction for both uniform flow and turbulence boundary layer. On the middle of the roof and the front and rear edges, wind pressure coefficient in the upward direction was higher by up to 70% than that in the downward direction. In glass greenhouse, wind pressure coefficient on the front and the sides was higher than that on the roof surface. According to wind direction, the maximum wind pressure coefficient appeared at the windward edge, and the minimum wind pressure coefficient did at the leeward edge.
