Abstract:This work is concerned with technical development of the optimum RC structural design. Based on the algorithm developed, BUILDS-C which is for the RC structural design program and one of subsystems in i-BUILDS (an intelligent BUILding Design System) has been developed. This optimum design algorithm, the structural behavior of beams and columns is implemented in the design sections of members satisfying code requirements are stored in the database and are manipulated by one major variable, i.e. the section identification number(N) linked with all other design variables. In design procedures, a continuous preliminary solution is obtained first, on the basis of regression curve equations, and then an effective direct search for the discrete optimum section is carried out. In advance, automatic design of walls, slabs and SRC columns for given design condition is followed.
