- 构建生成-评估-优化闭环,通过多智能体协作实现自动化设计。
- 轻量80亿参数模型准确率超98%,优于6310亿参数大模型。
- 适合工程行业快速部署AI辅助设计工具,降低算力成本。
高速公路混凝土护栏设计是关乎安全的关键过程,必须严格遵循如AASHTO-LRFD等规范。当前工程实践依赖人工、迭代且基于经验的计算来满足复杂的非线性材料与力学约束。尽管大型语言模型(LLMs)具备强大生成能力,但其在结构工程中的直接应用受限于幻觉风险和物理知识不足。为此,本研究提出一种基于AutoGen多智能体编排的“生成-评估-优化”闭环框架,用于自动化混凝土护栏设计。实验结果表明,该智能体框架设计准确率超过98%,显著优于独立使用的通用大模型。更重要的是,研究发现设计性能并不必然与模型规模相关:一个80亿参数的轻量级模型表现甚至优于未受约束的6310亿参数旗舰模型。这一发现表明,可在大幅降低计算成本的同时,提升工业界对AI辅助工程工具的可及性。项目源码已开源:https://github.com/MXY820/barrier-design。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The design of reinforced concrete highway barriers is a safety-critical process that requires strict compliance with regulatory provisions such as the AASHTO-LRFD bridge design guidelines. Current engineering practice relies heavily on manual, iterative, and heuristic calculations to satisfy complex nonlinear material and mechanics constraints. Although Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate strong generative capabilities, their direct application to structural engineering remains limited by hallucination risks and insufficient physical grounding. To address these challenges, this study proposes a novel "generation-evaluation-optimization" closed-loop framework for automated concrete barrier design using the multi-agent orchestration capabilities of AutoGen. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed agentic framework achieves over 98% design accuracy, significantly outperforming standalone general-purpose LLMs. More importantly, the study reveals that design performance is not necessarily correlated with model scale, where an 8B-parameter lightweight model could outperform unconstrained 631B-parameter flagship models. This finding highlights the potential to substantially reduce computational costs while improving the accessibility of AI-assisted engineering tools for industry applications. The source code for the proposed multi-agent design framework is available at the project GitHub repository: https://github.com/MXY820/barrier-design.
