ABSTRACT
Structures of halls with curved roofs are gaining popularity in modern industrial architecture due to their unique aesthetic and functional advantages. This study presents a comparative analysis of the efficiency of steel hall structures featuring frame systems and curved roofs composed of hyperbolic paraboloid (HP) modules. Utilizing Rhinoceros 3D software along with its generative modeling and structural analysis plug-ins, a script was developed to parametrically define the structural models and preliminarily determine geometries within a specified range of variable parameters. These parameters included column heights, total frame heights, frame widths, frame spacing, and the spacing of the roof bar grid. Parametric modeling enabled the generation of numerous variants of single-nave hall structures with five frame systems. All halls were designed with a rectangular plan measuring 12 x 24 meters and a maximum height of 8 meters. Subsequently, structural analysis was conducted using Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional software, focusing on optimization in terms of mass and dimensioning. The analysis considered the feasibility of using sheet metal roofing as well as flat panels, which required adjustments of the roof bar grid topology. Variants were selected based on their efficiency and functionality. The procedure for shaping steel halls with curved roofs using genetic algorithms proved to be highly beneficial in the design process. The results of the analysis provide valuable guidelines for designing halls with HP module roofs.
