Abstract
This article is the second part of the series of the comprehensive review which is related to the outrigger and belt‐truss system design for tall buildings. In this part, by presenting and analyzing as much relevant excellent resources as possible, a guideline for optimum topology and size design of the outrigger system is provided. This guideline will give an explanation and description for the used theories, assumptions, concepts, and methods in the reviewed articles for optimum topology and size design. Finally, this part ended up with a summary for the findings of the reviewed studies, which is useful to understand how different parameters influence the optimum topology and size design of a tall building with outrigger and belt‐truss system.
Highlights
Building sector is blamed for being responsible for a significant amount of environmental emissions and resource depletion [1]
As the title of this review indicates the optimum topology and size design, mainly two types of design variables should be taken into consideration: topological variables and sizing variables
Optimality Criteria (OC) can be used to solve mixeddiscrete-continuous nonlinear programming (mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP)) [8, 17], which are common in the optimum design of the outrigger system because it includes continuous and discrete design variables
Summary
Building sector is blamed for being responsible for a significant amount of environmental emissions and resource depletion [1]. In the building construction process, the manufacturing of building material contributes about 90% of the embodied energy and emission, while the construction andtransportation contribute about 6% and 4%, respectively. [1] (see Figure 1) This negative impact of building construction on the environment becomes crucial in the situation of tall building construction due to the complexity, implementation difficulties, and the massive energy consumption of tall buildings compared with shorter buildings as a premium for height [4,5,6]. The embodied energy during construction and operation phases will be minimized
