Abstract
ABSTRACT Experiences of past earthquakes show that the infill wall is one of the non-structural elements which has the highest collapse potential of the structure. Although architects are responsible for designing the form and arrangement of walls, little research has been done in this regard with the aim of architectural design. In this research, a method was developed to control the infill walls in the basic architectural design. In this method, architectural design features are preserved, and only by applying minor modifications to the specifications of walls, undesirable effects such as short column, soft story, and torsion are prevented and without using more materials, additional potential for seismic resistance of the building is provided. For this method, two accurate and approximate models were developed. In the accurate model which includes five algorithms, a structural model is required, so close collaboration between architect and structural engineer is necessary. In the approximate method which includes four algorithms, only geometric specifications of architectural design are required and architects can control the effects of infill walls on the structure. The results of the practical test of the approximate model indicated that this model can be used by various groups of architects. This model will not prevent the creativity of architects and the designer has a great degree of freedom in applying solutions.
期刊介绍:
Informative and accessible, this publication analyses and discusses the integration of the main stages within the process of design and construction and multidisciplinary collaborative working between the different professionals involved. Ideal for practitioners and academics alike, Architectural Engineering and Design Management examines specific topics on architectural technology, engineering design, building performance and building design management to highlight the interfaces between them and bridge the gap between architectural abstraction and engineering practice. Coverage includes: -Integration of architectural and engineering design -Integration of building design and construction -Building design management; planning and co-ordination, information and knowledge management, vale engineering and value management -Collaborative working and collaborative visualisation in building design -Architectural technology -Sustainable architecture -Building thermal, aural, visual and structural performance -Education and architectural engineering This journal is a valuable resource for professionals and academics (teachers, researchers and students) involved in building design and construction, including the following disciplines: -Architecture -Building Engineering -Building Service Engineering -Building Physics -Design Management and Design Coordination -Facilities Management Published papers will report on both fundamental research dealing with theoretical work and applied research dealing with practical issues and industrial innovations. In this way, readers explore the interaction between technical considerations and management issues.
