Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In the pursuit of advancing structural design methodologies, this paper presents a comprehensive framework for the conceptual design stage to systematically identify the layout of the main wind force-resisting system (MWFRS) (i.e., shear walls) of tall buildings within a performance-based wind design (PBWD) perspective. The framework integrates computational fluid dynamics for wind load evaluation with a finite element method to perform a linear time history analysis. A deep neural network surrogate model is developed to reduce the computational cost required for objective function evaluation. The optimization problem is defined to minimize structural material usage while adhering to performance constraints based on the PBWD described in the ASCE prestandards through using a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II to derive the multi-objective optimization process. Finally, a nonlinear time history analysis is employed to predict the inelastic behaviour of tall buildings based on the prestandards assumptions to quantify the differences that can be generated using the developed framework. To ensure the proposed framework's effectiveness and practicality, a case study of a standard tall building is presented. • Novel optimization framework for performance-based wind design of tall buildings. • Integration of CFD and FEM for wind loading evaluation. • Development of a deep neural network surrogate model to reduce computational costs. • Utilization of genetic algorithms for multi-objective optimization. • Nonlinear time history analysis for wind-induced tall buildings.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
