Performance-Based Topology Optimization for Buildings under Wind and Seismic Hazards
Topology optimization has recently been explored as a tool for the conceptual design of efficient structures during the initial building design stage. Although these techniques were originally developed in a deterministic setting, most practical applications are subject to inherent uncertainties in the design problem (e.g. stochastic loads, model idealization) and thus there has recently been an effort to incorporate the effect of these uncertainties into the topology optimization procedure. Within this context, the authors have developed an approach that is able to efficiently account for the uncertainties in the problem at hand using concepts from Performance-Based Design. This paper presents a general overview of this method and illustrates its applicability for the topology design of structures under wind and seismic hazards.
