Study Notes
Precast Concrete Construction
- Precast concrete is becoming more popular due to increased building efficiency and quality compared to traditional cast-in-situ concrete.
- Current research focuses on improving constructability elements like logistics and sequencing.
- Standardization in precast concrete is needed.
- A framework is presented to study the relationship between construction costs and standardization.
Framework for Cost and Standardization
- The framework uses Building Information Modeling (BIM) to extract data from architectural plans.
- BIM data is used to optimize precast component dimensions.
- A gradient-based Optimality Criteria method optimizes component sizing.
- A hybrid algorithm (NSGA-II-GD) optimizes rebar layout. NSGA-II-GD combines Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II and Great Deluge Algorithm.
- The framework aims at finding an optimal point between construction costs and standardization.
Results and Algorithm Efficiency
- An optimal point between construction cost and standardization exists, especially for components facing similar stresses.
- The NSGA-II-GD algorithm is more efficient, regarding convergence, computational time, and search space compared to other methods.
