Title: Generative design using AI for resilient modular construction in seismic zones
Authors: Komal Nevase, Muhammad Zainul Abidin & Azrina Husin
Abstract: Generative design using AI for resilient modular construction in seismic zones employs algorithms that iteratively explore thousands of structural configurations, optimizing for factors like material efficiency, damping ratios, and drift limits to produce prefabricated modules that assemble rapidly on-site. These AI tools integrate seismic hazard data, soil-structure interaction models, and performance-based criteria to generate lightweight frames with energy-dissipating joints, outperforming traditional designs by 20-40% in ductility and cost. In practice, platforms like those from Autodesk or custom neural networks train on historical quake data to simulate nonlinear behaviors, enabling modules for high-rises that self-align during assembly while minimizing residual deformations. This approach accelerates deployment in vulnerable regions like Bihar, reducing construction timelines by half and enhancing post-event reusability. Ultimately, it bridges civil engineering’s resilience standards with computer science’s optimization power for scalable, adaptive urban rebuilding……………[For more click here]
