Tiivistelmä
Parametric design is a tool by which the parameters are used to develop geometry. Architects have already started using parametric design tools such as Rhino/Grasshopper in the AEC industry and taking benefits from these tools while preparing the geometry. But that is not the same case with structural engineering. Structural engineers are still using a software tool based upon a CAD system. It means the structure must be redrawn or remodeled again if there are specific changes in the structure system. Therefore, this research utilizes the parametric tool from a structural engineer's perspective.
Earthquake is one of the significant forces on a structure. Seismic waves generated by earthquake sometimes damages the system severally. In this research, a framed structure is considered in Italy in Seismic zone 1. As Italy comes under a seismic-prone zone, the structure is considered in the same country. As the building considered in this research is located inside Europe, therefore European code of seismic analysis (EN 1998-1) is utilized.
In this research, the framed structure is modeled with the help of the Parametric design tool Rhino/Grasshopper. To apply the seismic force on the building, the forces are calculated as per EN 1998-1. After that, the forces are applied with the help of the KiWi3D plugin available in Rhino/Grasshopper. After that, the analysis is conducted, and the reaction forces are compared with the SOFiSTiK Software tool.
