Research on optimizing the cross section of kingpost in basement construction using the Topdown method

Abstract

This article proposes a model to solve the problem of optimizing the crosssection of Kingpost in the construction of buildings with basements using the differential evolution algorithm (DE). Basement construction technology using the Topdown method is being prioritized by units for complex projects. To apply the Topdown method to basement construction, the most important component required is the Kingpost made of steel structure thanks to its good load-bearing capacity, diversity in shape, size, and convenience in construction. The construction industry is highly competitive, construction units need to optimize the resources used in the project to achieve economic efficiency. Therefore, building a tool to optimize the cross-section of Kingpost is very necessary and an effective tool is needed to solve this problem. The differential evolution algorithm (DE) is a very effective algorithm for solving global optimization problems and is suitable for building a tool to optimize the cross-section of Kingpost. The objective of thearticleis to provide a tool to optimize the cross-section of Kingpost, aiming at economic efficiency for the project. The results of the article have built an effective tool to optimize Kingpost using the differential evolution algorithm (DE) built on Python software that is easy to install and use for users.
