Abstract: (2205 Views)
Diagrids are of practical interest in high-rise buildings due to their architectural configuration and efficiency in withstanding lateral loads by exterior diagonal members. In the present work, diagrid models are screened based on a sizing optimization approach. Section index of each member group is treated as a discrete design variable in the optimization problem to be solved. The structural constraints are evaluated due to Load and Resistant Design Factor regulations under both gravitational and wind loadings. The research is threefold: first, falcon optimization algorithm is utilized as a meta-heuristic paradigm for such a large-scale and highly constrained discrete problem. Second, the effect of geometry variation in diagrids on minimal structural weight is studied for 18 diagrid models via three different heights (12, 20 and 30 stories) and three diagrid angles. Third, distinct cases of rigid and flexible bases are compared to study the effect of such boundary conditions on the results. The effect of soil flexibility beneath the foundation on the optimal design was found highly dependent on the diagrid geometry. The best weight and performance in most of the treated examples belong to the geometry that covers two stories by every grid line on the flexible-base.
