Optimal Design of Steel Structure Residential Buildings in Xinjiang Region

Abstract:

There are a long winter and a short outdoor construction period in Xinjiang, being an earthquake-prone area. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for the development of steel structure residential buildings. This article explains the current problems in the design of steel structure residential buildings in Xinjiang region. For example, the backward concept of design, the random design of kitchen and bathroom, which leads to too many specifications, being not conducive to industrial production and large amount of steel using , etc. The optimal design ideas were put forward, which included architectural specialty to be dominant, standardized and conventionalized design, serialized, modular and flexible layout. Finally, an example of optimal design was given.
