This study presents stiffness-based optimal design to control quantitatively lateral drift of frame-shear wall structures subject to seismic loads. To this end, lateral drift constraints are established by introducing approximation concept that preserves the generality of the mathematical programming and can efficiently solve large scale problems. Also, the relationships of sectional properties are established to reduce the number of design variables and resizing technique of member is developed under the 'constant-shape' assumption. Specifically, the methodology of dynamic displacement sensitivity analysis is developed to formulate the approximated lateral displacement constraints. The 12 story frame-shear wall structural models is considered to illustrate the features of dynamic stiffness-based optimal design technique proposed in this study.

본 연구에서는 지진하중을 받는 고층 RC 골조구조물의 횡변위를 정량적으로 제어할 수 있는 방안을 제시한다. 이를 위해 수학적인 일반성을 가지면서 큰 규모의 문제도 효율적으로 다룰 수 있는 근사화 개념을 도입하여 횡변위 구속조건식을 설정한다. 아울러 구조부재의 단면특성 관계식을 설정함으로써 설계변수의 수를 줄여주고, 초기에 주어진 단면형상이 최적설계 과정동안 계속 유지된다는 가정을 이용하여 최적설계결과에서 구해진 단면특성에 따라 부재단면크기를 산출하는 방안을 강구한다. 특히 근사화된 횡변위구속조건식을 정식화 하기 위해 동적 변위민감도해석 방안이 고려된다. 이와 같이 제시된 동적 강성최적설계 기법의 효용성을 검토하기 위해 10층과 50층 규모의 삼차원 RC 골조구조물 모델이 고려된다.

본 연구는 횡변위 구속조건을 받는 고층철골구조물의 이산형 최적설계를 위해 효율적인 쌍대알고리즘을 제시하고자 한다. 양함수형태의 횡변위 구속조건을 설정하기 위해 가상일의 원리가 적용되면 고층철골조의 설계변수의 수를 줄여주기 위해 쌍대알고리즘내에 단면특성관계식이 추가된다. 이 알고리즘의 검증을 위하여 횡하중을 받는 네 가지 형태의 고층철골조 예제가 제시되며, 반복과정에서 수렴된 최종물량을 기존의 최적설계방법과 비교해 봄으로써 제시된 알고리즘의 효율성이 검토된다.

본 연구에서는 횡강성 영향행렬을 이용한 최적설계의 효율성을 높이기 위해 각 층에서 층별 영향행렬을 구하는 계산모듈을 개발하고 가상하중법에 의한 민감도 해석을 수행한다. 아울러 최적설계결과를 실무에 직접 적용할 수 있도록 층별 횡강성 증대계수에 근거하여 횡하중 저항시스템의 부재단면크기를 재산정하는 방안을 강구한다. 이를 위해 단면 재산정 방안은 연속형과 이산형 단면설계법으로 나누어 고려되며, 단면특성과 단면치수와의 관계가 설정된다. 특히 강도구속조건에 대한 초기설계가 먼저 수행된 후 횡변위 구속조건을 초과하는 횡변위를 제어하는데 있어서 횡하중 저항 시스템만이 저항하도록 설계한다. 본 연구에서 제안된 고층건물의 횡변위 제어 및 단면 재산정 방안을 검토하기 위해 두 가지 형태의 45층 삼차원 구조물이 고려된다.

In this paper, two algorithms are presented for the optimum design of geometrically nonlinear steel space frames using tabu search. The first algorithm utilizes the features of short-term memory (tabu list) facility and aspiration criteria and the other has long-term memory (back-tracking) facility in addition to the aforementioned features. The design algorithms obtain minimum weight frames by selecting suitable sections from a standard set of steel sections such as American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) wide-flange (W) shapes. Stress constraints of AISC Allowable stress design (ASD) specification, maximum drift (lateral displacement) and interstorey drift constraints were imposed on the frames. The algorithms were applied to the optimum design of three space frame structures. The designs obtained using the two algorithms were compared to each other. The comparisons showed that the second algorithm resulted in lighter frames.

This paper presents an optimization process using Genetic Algorithm (GA) for minimum weight by selecting suitable standard sections from a specified list taken from American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC). The stress constraints obeying AISC-LRFD (American Institute of Steel Construction-Load and Resistance Factor Design), lateral displacement constraints being the top and inter-storey drift, mid-span deflection constraints for the beams and geometric constraints are considered for optimum design by using GA that mimics biological processes. Optimum designs for three different space frames taken from the literature are carried out first without considering concrete slab effects in finite element analyses for the constraints above and the results are compared with the ones available in literature. The same optimization procedures are then repeated for the case of space frames with composite (steel and concrete) beams. A program is coded in MATLAB for the optimization processes. Results obtained in the study showed that consideration of the contribution of the concrete on the behavior of the floor beams results with less steel weight and ends up with more economical designs.

In this article, a harmony search algorithm is presented for optimum design of steel frame structures. Harmony search is a meta-heuristic search method which has been developed recently. It is based on the analogy between the performance process of natural music and searching for solutions of optimization problems. The design algorithms obtain minimum weight frames by selecting suitable sections from a standard set of steel sections such as American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) wide-flange (W) shapes. Stress constraints of AISC Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and AISC Allowable Stress Design (ASD) specifications, maximum (lateral displacement) and interstorey drift constraints, and also size constraint for columns were imposed on frames. The results of harmony search algorithm were compared to those of the other optimization algorithms such as genetic algorithm, optimality criterion and simulated annealing for two planar and two space frame structures taken from the literature. The comparisons showed that the harmony search algorithm yielded lighter designs for the design examples presented.

This paper presents an integrated wind-induced dynamic analysis and computer-based design optimization technique for minimizing the structural cost of general tall buildings subject to static and dynamic serviceability design criteria. Once the wind-induced dynamic response of a tall building structure is accurately determined and the optimal serviceability design problem is explicitly formulated, a rigorously derived Optimality Criteria (OC) method is to be developed to achieve the optimal distribution of element stiffness of the structural system satisfying the wind-induced drift and acceleration design constraints. The effectiveness and practicality of the optimal design technique are illustrated by a full-scale 60-story building with complex 3D mode shapes. Both peak resultant acceleration criteria and frequency dependent modal acceleration criteria are considered and their influences on the optimization results are highlighted. Results have shown that the use of various acceleration criteria has different implications in the habitability evaluations and subsequently different optimal design solutions. The computer based optimization technique provides a powerful tool for the lateral drift and occupant comfort design of tall building structures.
