Design wind loads on tall buildings: a wind tunnel data based expert system approach

摘要

Wind tunnel measurements of various generic building shapes from high frequency base balance (HFBB) and aeroelastic model experiments have been done in Wind Engineering Research Center at Tamkang University. Based on the extensive experimental data and expertise of our research team in this field, a comprehensive knowledge base can be constructed for wind load analysis on tall buildings. Using case-based reasoning, a knowledge-based expert system for generating building design wind loads can be built. This article discusses the initial experiment of the approach, giving emphasis to the fundamental problem-solving strategy, database design, case representation and online system architecture.
