A Conditional Simulation Method for Predicting Wind Pressure Fields of Large‐Span Spatial Structures
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Wind load is among the control loads for large‐span spatial structures. Wind tunnel test is one of the commonly used methods for measuring wind pressure fields of different kinds of structures. However, due to the limited wind pressure data obtained from wind tunnel testing, it is quite meaningful to employ the limited measured data to predict the unknown wind pressure at target points. Considering the complexity of wind pressure fields of large‐span spatial structures, a simplified nonparametric method based on conditional simulation is proposed to predict the unknown pressures using the existing data. The Karhunen–Loève (KL for short) expansion is employed to represent wind pressure random variants as eigenfunctions of the covariance operator. To reduce the variant dimensionality, the nearest neighboring estimator is given for the transition distribution of the KL expansion. The targeted wind pressure fields are obtained by expanding the Fourier basis of the eigenfunction and estimating its expansion coefficients. The proposed method is applied to estimate wind pressures on a gable roof building. The relevant parameters of the wind pressure field are obtained, and the results compare well with those from wind tunnel testing, with higher efficiency. The proposed method effectively reduces the dimensionality of the predicted wind pressures, with reduced errors, higher accuracy, and increased efficiency.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
