Improving Steel Buildings Resilience through Innovative Design Strategies
Mejorar la resiliencia de los edificios de acero mediante estrategias de diseño innovadoras
Abstract
The objective of the proposed project is to explore innovative strategies for improving steel buildings resilience through an approach that actively integrate the architectural and structural design processes.This project will be divided in two focus areas, the first phase will focus on developing the integrated architectural-structural design framework that includes a set of computational tools (both commercial and in-house developed code) to incorporate actively the structural engineering processes into the architectural design. The second focus area will deal with developing strategies to improve steel building resilience through the use of energy-dissipating strategies and facilitated by work emerging from the research plan for the first research focus area.
