However, quantitative data on building energy performance as a function of urban density, building compactness and orientation, building use and supply options are rarely available during the design of new cities or early scenario analysis for existing city quarters, making it difficult for cities to effectively evaluate which concepts work today and in the future.
This means that the base shear is not only a function of the building weight but also a function of the building rigidity.
The technique was used to quantify the rate of removal of aggregate from a two-dimensional building as a function of the building parapet height and the wind speed.
