Buildings affect the wind flow pattern over an urban area. The wind has a significant effect on the comfort and safety of pedestrians, urban microclimate, and pollutant dispersion. It is important to include wind flow modeling in the early urban design to minimize wind safety issues and ensure pedestrian comfort. In this paper, numerical simulation...

In this paper an investigation of marble powder (MP) as partial replacement for cement and marble waste (MW) as partial replacement for sand is presented. MP replaced the cement at the rate of 5%, 10% and 15% of cement by mass. MW was used as a replacement for sand at constant 50% replacement level. Control mixture was prepared without MP and MW. W...
