An intelligent model for managing visual comfort and building energy consumption through facade control using reinforcement learning

Building facade characteristics have a significant influence on energy consumption for lighting and on occupant visual comfort, yet these two objectives frequently conflict with each other. Increasing the amount of incoming daylight reduces energy demand while simultaneously rais...

Experimental and GEP-based assessment of steel fiber-reinforced self-compacting concrete containing waste glass aggregate and silica fume

This study investigates the combined use of waste glass aggregate (WGA, 0–60% volumetric replacement of natural coarse aggregate) and silica fume (SF, 0–15% replacement of cement) in steel fiber-reinforced self-compacting concrete. The experimental program covered fresh, mechanic...

Bayesian-optimized explainable boosting models for compressive strength of non-circular LRS-FRP-confined concrete

Abstract Large rupture strain fiber-reinforced polymer (LRS-FRP)-confined concretes are increasingly used in safety–critical infrastructure due to their high ductility and load-carrying capacity; however, accurate prediction of compressive strength (CS) in non-circular sections r...
