Structural design of a roof steel structure having double curvature

چکیده
Having as a starting point the idea of creating a structure with an iconic design, the current article presents all the technical solutions and steps followed in the process of creating this special structure. The structure, having the destination of a showroom for an auto dealer, is presented with an unconventional design of the roof: a roof structure having a double curvature. Starting from a relatively simple structural system, the evolution steps are presented together with the main setbacks, challenges and the final solution: a completely redesigned structural system, with high performance elements, both in strength and material consumption. The article also presents some stages of the structural analysis, with provisional results that shaped and determined the final design of some of the structural elements.

PERFORMANCE-BASED MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMUM DESIGN FOR STEEL STRUCTURES WITH INTELLIGENCE ALGORITHMS
A multi-objective heuristic particle swarm optimiser (MOHPSO) based on Pareto multi-objective theory is proposed to solve multi-objective optimality problems. The optimality objectives are the roof displacement and structure weight. Two types of structure are analysed in this paper, a truss structure and a framework structure. Performance-based seismic analysis, such as classical and modal push...
