Tóm tắt

This paper introduces a “generic” model for interactive design of constructed facilities. The proposed methodology synthesizes structural problem parameters and conditions in terms of load environment, structural properties, and function of the structure into a hierarchy of possible failure modes. Design evaluations are made in terms of this behavior hierarchy. The user has a high degree of control over the design process and may move at will to any of the design tasks. The model provides a direct link between the system user and the design evaluations during the evaluation/design process.
