Abstract: Structural design synthesis considering discrete elements can be formulated as a sequential decision process solved using deep reinforcement learning, as shown in prior work. By modeling structural design synthesis as a ...

Abstract: Recent advances in simulation and computation capabilities have enabled designers to model increasingly complex engineering problems, taking into account many dimensions, or objectives, in the problem formulation. Increasing ...

Abstract: Quantifying the environmental impacts of buildings is a key step in realizing resilient and sustainable buildings. Buildings are vulnerable to natural hazards during their functional life, and the structural performance ...
