On the Optimal Design of Glass Grid Shells with Planar Quadrilateral Elements
This paper presents an optimization procedure for the solution of the planarity problem, a requirement of grid shells with four or more sides faces that need of having four adjacent nodes laying on a plane in order to use plane glass slabs as cladding elements. It can be satisfied by applying specific geometric rules in the grid generation phase but, when the architectural shape is already defined at the conceptual stage, an optimization procedure can yield to suitable configurations. A Relaxation method based on nodal planarity errors and an evolutionary population based Genetic Algorithm have been applied to set of benchmarks, in order to tune parameters and to obtain general information about the solution. the problem and their efficiency compared. The Relaxation method in general shows better efficiency in reaching optimal solutions, as an effect of the regularity of the target function. The Genetic Algorithm, on the other hand, performs a wider exploration of feasible solutions, generating unexpected sub-optimal configurations.
