An Expert System for Optimizing Computer Aided Design of Post Frame Buildings
نویسندگان
چکیده
A procedure has been developed to optimize designs of metal-clad post-frame buildings using an expert system. The novel part of the study is the development of a procedure that extends the solution of an engineering problem from a conventional algorithmic Computer Aided Design (CAD) program to be used by the knowledge base of an expert system. The expert system then uses this information to optimize the design based on specified rules. The system shows a procedure for linking and sharing information between CAD and expert system programs.

Knowledge Representation for Integrating Design Tools
This paper examines the need to provide a common interface to expert systems, simulation tools and CAD systems for architectural design. We observe that a large amount of information is duplicated in describing buildings to several different tools. We describe a frame based representation for building designs, and an interfacing mechanism to move information between various tools. We also exami...

The experience of past prominent earthquakes establishes the fact that the structure’s catastrophes and casualties can be dramatically decreased through the use of self-centering systems. A promising post-tensioned self-centering yielding braced system (PT-SCYBS) has been developed, comprising of two main components, including the post-tensioned wires, exhibiting the desirable self-centering pr...

Steel Plate Shear Wall (SPSW) is an emerging seismic load-resistant system that, compared to other systems, enjoys the advantages of stable ductile behavior, fewer detailing requirements, rapid constructability, and economy. American seismic provisions decree that a SPSW should be designed as a moment frame with a web infill plate. Specifically, in case of buildings taller than 160 ft, it decre...
