Conclusion

It is mentioned that the fuzzy machine learning and the neural network learning arethe fundamental approaches in the intelligent systems for structural design. Thepreliminary results presented in this chapter show that the previous one is devotedto the classification of samples, which form the sample base of the system, sorted byits attributes; the latter one aims to “cultivate” the system through NN learning inorder to accumulate the design expertise of human being in the system.

It is necessary to point out that since the number of the samples used in thischapter is not adequate, the characteristics of the building are also different fromeach other. It seems that further efforts must be paid for collecting more samples ofvarious kinds until the sample base can be improved for practical use. Nevertheless,the methodology of intelligent design introduced in this chapter is actually based oncomparative design philosophy. It has been much encouraged in this chapter thateven by using such an incomplete sample base, the numerical error estimation oftest examples show the mean error of the samples inferred by NN system can belimited within 6 %.

Nevertheless, for achieving benefits from intelligent comparative design ofstructure, the input fuzzy membership function is the key for success, hopefully thefuzzy machine learning method can effectively solve the problem by [62].However, for achieving our goals of benefit by intelligent comparative design ofstructure, there will be a lot of common efforts to be spent for researchers andpractitioners in the future.

A.1 Example of Conceptual Design for Single-StoryMulti-span Steel Factory Building

Previous chapters of this book have introduced in detail some indispensablemechanical concepts and methods of simplified calculation in modern structuraldesign. Now we’ll come to the application of these concepts and methods inpractical construction project, specifically, in the conceptual design for single-storymulti-span steel structural factory building.

1. Project Introduction

This is a construction project of an industrial factory building, taking up a con-struction area of about 20,000 m2. The factory building is comprised of twosingle-storied multi-span steel structural sections A and B (as shown in Fig. A.1).Each covers an area of 10,000 m2. In light of the length limitations of this book, wewill take factory building A as an example and talk about the conceptual design ofthis part of the factory only.

2. The purpose of conceptual design

(1) It is to select a better structural system and the way of arrangement, inwhich case the resultant structure should not only be up to the standard butalso minimize the cost and guarantee the safety.

(2) Through the estimation of steel consumption of the main structure, theappraisal of economic efficiency and applicability of the structural systemcould be better made along with the total cost of construction.

(3) Conceptual design could serve as a guide to the following preliminarydesign and detailed design. The control of the most critical section and thecombination of loads ensures the safety and rationality of structural design.

3. Conditions of design

(1) Proprietor-provided plane and elevation layouts,(2) Proprietor-provided live loads,(3) Preliminary survey report of foundation soil.

4. Design norms

(1) Load Code for the Design of Building Structures (GB50009-2001), 2001,Beijing,

(2) Technical Specification for Steel Structure of Lightweight Building withGabled Frames (CECS102), 2002, Beijing,

(3) Code for Design of Steel Structures (GB50017-2002), 2002, Beijing,(4) Code for Design of Building Foundation (GB50007-2002), 2002, Beijing,(5) Code for Design of Concrete Structures (GB50010-2002), 2002, Beijing.

5. The assumptions

(1) Assume the structural system works in an elastic state.(2) Live loads are simplified as equivalent uniformly or linearly distributed

loads, conducted with reference to “Load Code for the Design of BuildingStructures”.

(3) All supports or connecting joints are assumed to be rigid connections, inwhich case the bending moments are transferred.

(4) The slope of the roof is assumed to be 5 %.

6. The diagram of simplified calculation of the main steel structure

According to the design principles of optimization of steel structures, multiplespans of single-storied portal frames of steel structure are employed in this project.Since the load of crane shall be imposed on each span, identical-sectionedwide-flanged I-shaped steels are employed in each section of column of the mainrigid frame; as for the section of the beams, differential-sectioned wide-flangedI-shaped steels are employed to reduce the consumption of steel. Since the cranegoes over each span of the structure, beams and columns are rigidly connected andso it is with the columns and the foundation, which enables the transference of thebending moment.

With reference to the requirements of construction technology and the opti-mization principles of structure, the main structure of factory building A adopts theportal frame of four spans. The span crosses over a distance of 25 m and there’s aspacing of 6 m between main rigid frames. The side column is 12 m high, as shownin Fig. A.2.

7. Estimation of the loads in structural design

The estimation principles of loads introduced in Chap. 2 shall be applied. Takinginto consideration the requirements of construction technology for industrial pro-ject, major loads as listed in Table A.1 have to be considered in the design of thisfactory building.

8. The estimation of the internal forces of the cross section under the action ofthe most unfavorable combination of vertical loads

According to the Load Code for the Design of Building Structures (GB50009-2001), the most unfavorable vertical uniform load of beam is 1.2 × deadweight +1.4 × overhanging + 1.4 × load of snow or live load upon the roof

w ¼ 1:2� 0:45þ 1:4� 0:10þ 1:4� 0:30 ¼ 1:10 kN=m2

The deadweight of the roof structure (beam, purlin, and the panel included) isestimated to be 0.45 kN/m2.

The uniform load derived from the equation has to be transformed into equiv-alent uniform linear load q, being borne by each single-span portal frame.

Since the spacing between the frames is 6 m, we have

q ¼ 6m� 1:10 ¼ 6:6 kN=m

15. Summary of design

The conceptual design of this project could be summarized as follows:

(1) The design of the major rigid frame is the key in this project. The esti-mation of loads, the simplification of calculation model and the consid-eration of the most unfavorable combination of loads are to be conductedwith careful attention. Afterward, practical construction experiences andsimplified methods of calculation introduced in previous chapters could bereferred to in the design and checking calculation. Figure A.7 is the dia-gram of selected sections for the major rigid frame.

(2) Unit steel consumption of major rigid frame of this factory building is28.41 kg/m2, on the basis of which the total steel consumption of majorsteel structure could be calculated as 298 t along with the probable cost ofconstruction.

(3) The design of the supporting ground and foundation could determine thetype of pile foundation as well as the length and type of the pile. And thisis quite significant for the estimation of cost of construction concerningthis part of the structure.

B.1 Example of Conceptual Design of Multi-storySteel Frame Factory Building

In previous chapters of this book, detailed introduction has been made of necessaryconcepts of mechanics and simplified methods of calculation to be applied inmodern structural design. And now we will come to the application of these con-cepts and methods in construction projects and to the analysis of example ofconceptual design of multi-storied multi-span steel frame factory building.

1. Project Introduction

The project of building this industrial factory building covers an area of about30,000 m2. And factory building C is a four-story steel frame structure (as shown inFig. B.1), taking up an area of 6400 m2 with a plane layout of 60 m × 60 m. As forthe others, they are all single-storied. Due to the limited length of this book, we willonly discuss the conceptual design of the representative four-storied steel framefactory building C in here.

2. The purpose of conceptual design

(1) It is to select a better structural system and the way of arrangement, inwhich case the resultant structure should not only be up to the standard butalso minimize the cost and guarantee the safety.

(2) Through the estimation of steel consumption of the main structure, theappraisal of economic efficiency and applicability of the structural systemcould be better made along with the total cost of construction.

(3) Conceptual design could serve as a guide to the following preliminarydesign and detailed design. The control of the most critical section and thecombination of loads ensures the safety and rationality of structural design.

3. Conditions of design

(1) Proprietor-provided plane and elevation layouts,(2) Proprietor-provided live loads,(3) Preliminary survey report of foundation soil.

The design yields two-way double-layered II reinforcements with 16 mmdiameter and 150 mm spacing for the plate strip above the column and those with12 mm diameter and 200 mm spacing for the mid-span plate strip. The average steelemployed could be calculated as (42.13 + 17.8)/2 = 30 kg/m2.

14. Summary of design

Conceptual concepts adopted in the design of this project are summarized asfollows:

(1) The design of the main rigid frame is the key in this project. The estimationof loads, the simplification of calculation model, and the consideration ofthe most unfavorable combination of loads are to be conducted with carefulattention. Afterward, practical construction experiences and simplifiedmethods of calculation introduced in previous chapters could be referred toin the design and checking calculation. Figure B.7 is the diagram of selectedsections for the main rigid frame. With the elevation of story and thedecrease of load, the steel employed could be gradually reduced.

(2) Unit steel employed in themain frame of this factory building is 68.06 kg/m2,on the basis ofwhich the total steel employed in themain steel structure couldbe derived as 1029 t along with the probable cost of construction.

(3) The design of the supporting ground and foundation could determine thetype of the pile foundation as well as the length and type of the pile. Andthis is of importance for the estimation of cost of construction concerningthis part of the structure.

(4) A simple design of floor could determine whether or not to adopt pile, thetechnique entailed in the construction of floor and the estimation of rein-forcements to be installed within. At the completion of this process, thecost of construction of this part could be estimated.
