Abstract
The objective of the research presented in
the paper is the common approach of
aseismic design by both structural
engineers and architects. They both need
certain complementary knowledge and
assistance, each one from the scientific
domain of the other for an improved design
of the structure with respect to its
response to earthquake. This assistance is
particularly needed during the early
phases of a building's design when
critical decisions are made regarding the
location, relative proportions and sizes
of both architectural spaces and
structural elements. A software tool,
called ERDES, for providing this kind of
assistance is developed by the authors.
ERDES is organized as a modular multi-agent
system. The paper focuses on the
interface of the various programs with the
different kinds of users (structural
engineer-architect) and their cooperation.
