Column layout design for concrete frame structures utilizing the strain energy-based topology optimization method
Published 2025-02-01“…Intelligent design is advancing civil engineering, providing new opportunities for structural optimization.This paper proposes an innovative intelligent design method integrating topology optimization into concrete frame column layout design.The method iteratively removes a defined percentage of columns from the initial layout, guided by the architectural plan, to achieve optimal column topologies.The approach’s efficacy is validated through a numerical example and a practical case study, showing that materials in optimized frames enhance structural stiffness more effectively than in traditional designs. …”
