Abstract: A knowledge‐based system (KBS) is described that generates space layout alternatives for multistory office buildings taking into account flexibility and functionality, as well as constraints imposed by the owner and codes. ...

Abstract: The impact of topography on design wind speed is addressed in current building codes and design standards by providing “speed-up” ratios for limited cases of terrain geometries. This paper proposes a combined numerical–neural ...

Abstract: This paper reviews the current state of the art in the numerical evaluation of wind flow over different types of topographies. Numerical simulations differing from one another by the type of numerical formulation followed, ...
