In recent decades, large urban areas worldwide have faced the challenge of balancing urban growth with environmental preservation. Population growth and economic development significantly impact urban conditions, environmental quality, social equity, and national welfare. Large-scale housing development ideally aims to create a harmonious and optimal environment. Consequently, optimizing land use at the city level must consider the efficiency and effectiveness of building new residential areas. This study utilizes a Geographic Information System (GIS) to analyze optimization and limiting funct
Read MoreThis study presents the development and application of a custom script utilizing the visual programming language BHoM (Building Habitat Object Models) to automate the modeling and structural analysis process in the finite element method for steel frame buildings. The script was evaluated through testing on a prototype structure featuring mixed roofs and a steel framework. Structural analysis was conducted using conventional methods in the second phase, allowing for a comparative assessment. Results indicate a significant optimization in terms of time and cost, particularly in the quantity and

To reduce the damage of the traditional steel frames under strong earthquakes, a type of prefabricated steel frame structure with self-centering rocking column footings was proposed. The construction details and working mechanism of the frame were introduced. A rocking steel frame with a scale ratio of 1/4 was designed and manufactured. The low-cycle reversed loading tests and finite element simulation were carried out on the specimen to investigate its seismic performance. The research results show that the rocking steel frame realizes the controllable rocking of the column footings under

In this paper, a castellated beam-to-column end-plate (CBE) joint was proposed to address the problem of brittle fracture of welds caused by high stresses in solid web beam-to-column end-plate connections and the development of plastic deformations in frame beams. Cyclic loading tests of 12 CBE joints were conducted to investigate the effects of floor, end-plate and opening parameters on the failure mode and hysteresis performance of the joints. The development of plasticity and the dual hinge failure mechanism of CBE joints were clarified. It is shown that the dual hinge failure mechanism

In order to improve the seismic resilience of the braced frame structure, a novel self-centering cable brace has been proposed to effectively prevent compression buckling. It features a self-centering friction damper whose working principle has been analyzed both theoretically and experimentally, displaying a flag-shaped force-displacement curve with stable energy dissipation and self-centering capabilities. Based on this, three-story scale model steel frames with self-centering cable braces was designed, including models with prestressed dampers and without prestress, alongside a conventio
