A micro-computer-based expert-system for the design of wood-framed houses to resist wind loads
AbstractExtensive damage to wood-framed houses in severe wind storms has indicated shortcomings in the normal forms of construction of these buildings. Many of the damaged structures had been built in jurisdictions that use the CABO One and Two Family Dwelling Code.The expert system described in this paper uses as its basis the prescriptive One and Two Family Dwelling Code and the wind loading provisions of ANSI A58.1, 1982. Using inputs of location, external dimensions and roof pitch of the house, the program can be provide (a) a listing of the design wind-loads suitable for use by a professional designer and (b) a list of modifications to the One and Two Family Dwelling Code for use when the form of construction described in the code fails to provide sufficient resistance to calculated wind-loads.An example of the use of the program is given and the suitability of the One and Two Dwelling Code is discussed for various exposures and design wind-speeds.
