Abstract

This paper is concerned with the development of a knowledge-based system for the economical design of tubular trusses using a fabrication-led approach. This is achieved using, in addition to structural design and analysis modules, a cost model. The cost model was developed using mainly the object-oriented methodology. It can be used for estimating the cost of fabrication of one or a number of trusses, joint detailing, members and individual fabrication operations. Therefore the relative cost of one design option compared with its alternatives can be obtained. Using the model, the designer can also assess the sensitivity of a cost item on certain design parameters.
