Algorithm-Aided Design for Composite Bridges

Bridges are geometrically complex infrastructures, and their designs usually exhibit significant geometric variations between different structural solutions. The modelling complexity implies a low degree of model reuse in comparable projects; moreover, with the development new technologies design ways, AEC industry often requires computational cost reduction, less time for developments analysis, little-to-zero material waste face environmental emergency. present document proposes generative approach to enhance bridge process, increasing efficiency by reducing costs efforts, tackling aforementioned objectives. following methodology relies on workflow create flexible models, introducing parameters numerical relationships all variables. Therefore, from development, solutions bridge’s family created modifying parameter settings within same model. Then, work aims define analysis strategy multi-girder composite project based parametric optimization. results integrate building information modeling (BIM) explore high-potential geometries find cost-effective
