Abstract

Several practical tools for the characterization of the optimal layout of material in a structure have been developed in recent years based on both numerical and analytical approaches. Within the numerical methods, discrete and continuum methodologies have been successfully used in a variety of applications. This paper describes an integrated topology optimization framework using discrete and continuum elements for buckling and stiffness optimization of high-rise buildings. The focus of this work is on linearized buckling and stability as objectives. Examples are discussed to illustrate the proposed methodology for high-rise building design.
