Nature Inspired Form Finding Strategies Assessment using Genetic Algorithms
(IEEE Computer Society, 2015)
In this work, several topology generation procedures have been implemented on architectural surfaces combined with urban forms. Delaunay triangulation, Voronoi diagrams and the recently proposed [1, 2, 3] Voronax diagram, ...
A new methodology, extending the inversed catenary form finding method of Antonio Gaudi to generative space shells
(Eccomas, 2016-06)
This work aims to constitute an algorithmic framework for the automatic creation of compression only forms of generative space shells. In particular the case of concrete dams is investigated, where the loading is non-uniform ...
Minimizing the Torsional Response of RC Buildings Under Earthquake Loading
(South-East European Conference on Computational Mechanics, 2006)
In this work a number of design approaches for 3D Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings are formulated as structural optimization problems and are assessed in terms of the performance under earthquake loading. In particular ...
Substratum Assessment of Various Minimum Torsional Design Philosophies via Structural Optimization Techniques
(WCCM, 2008)
A number of articles have been published, studying the issue of torsional
response of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings [1], the majority of them were focused
on the strength of the structural elements or the structure ...
Torsional design criteria in building codes and comparison with more accurate modeling using structural optimization tools
(4th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2013)
It is widely accepted that seismic design philosophies do not follow the efficiency of seismic analysis methods is quite remarkable. Torsionally unbalanced structures, is a common field where any of the proposed design ...
A new method for assessing tortional effects in irregular buildings
