  • The use of topology and shape optimization of trusses in earthquake architecture [Elektronski vir]
    Šilih, Simon ; Petrovčič, Simon ; Kilar, Vojko
    This paper discusses the potential of using structural optimization in earthquake architecture. The structural optimization is considered not only as a means of reducing the structurećs ... weight/volume, but also, by including topology and shape optimization, as a method of finding interesting solutions to the aesthetic point of view. Truss-like structures are considered as vertical structural elements resisting horizontal loads in multi-storey buildings. The optimization is proposed to represent a part of the preliminary stage of building design and it is thus performed using a simplified structural and load model. A subsequent static pushover analysis is applied to the obtained optimal solution in order to gain more accurate information about the structurećs capacity, ductility, etc. Some numerical examples are presented in order to show the applicability of the proposed process.
