[In Press] Application of artificial intelligence technique in optimization and prediction of the stability of the walls against wind loads in building design

The present study is done to perform the optimal design of the structural components of the buildings against the unwanted wind load exerted on their outer face. To this end, the case study of the research is the outer wall made of a one-floor building modeled as a rectangular plate with only one free edge and three clamped ones. It is assumed that the wall is a sandwich plate whose core is made of auxetic material and dace-sheets are reinforced with nanoparticles of graphene platelets (GPL). Differential equations governing the system’s motion are obtained within the background of the plate’s shear-deformation theories. The stability analysis of the sandwich wall is performed based on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) methods optimized with an innovative optimization approach to gain a high level of accuracy. To determine the stability information of the system at the train points, the differential quadrature approach (DQA) is applied as the solver of differential equations of motion. The accuracy of the methods used in this paper is examined and verified by comparing the results with those acquired in the articles published previously. The results obtained in this study provide very useful information about the stability response of lightweight building components through AI-based solutions.
