Optimization of rectangular plane frames using box's complex method. Burke, Benedict Paul
Abstract
This study is concerned with the minimum cost design of a multi-storey building. The building consists of rectangular steel plane frames which are evenly spaced and support identical floors and a roof. The frame spacing, the column positions within the frame, and the number of intermediate beams spanning between frames are optimized using Box's Complex method and the optimum solution verified by an exhaustive search procedure. Member sizes for the frame and floor system are determined by a fully-stressed design criterion, for the AISC code, within the limits of a discrete set of member properties. The optimum design for several frames with various widths and heights is determined and the influence of the above variables, and the effect of cost parameters on the optimum solution is illustrated and the results discussed.
