This paper presented an overview of the prediction methods used in building acoustics. The
methods reviewed were based on analytical models, empirical models and numerical …

Pedestrian behavior models have successfully reproduced human movement in many
situations. However, few studies focus on modeling human behavior in the context of …

Istanbul's Hagia Sophia is a monumental structure with multiple sub-spaces coupled to one
another through arches. Its architectural elements have undergone alterations as its function …

This work investigates the sound energy decays and flows in the Süleymaniye Mosque in
İstanbul. This is a single-space superstructure having multiple domes. The study searches …

Selection and designing of noise protection aids in industrial buildings require numerous
calculations of energy characteristics typical for noise fields of their facilities. The efficiency …

This study investigates reliable models and methods to be applied in sound field analysis of
multi-domain structures. The case structures are two monuments, namely, Süleymaniye …

Some recent concert hall designs have incorporated coupled reverberation chambers to the
main hall that have stimulated a range of research activities in architectural acoustics. The …

During the last 40 years, there has been an increasing interest on performing room acoustic
simulations for several purposes; among them, to get a lower sound level, to reduce sound …

Due to their disproportionate geometries and uneven distribution of sound, the interior
sound field analysis of subway stations has always been challenging. The field necessitates …

The room-acoustics diffusion theory is a recently developed energetic model for the
prediction of the sound field in urban streets and rooms with diffusely reflecting boundaries …
