Intra-Similarity And Inter-Similarity Analysis Of Steel Structure MTO’s

In this research investigation, the real world MTO’s (Material Take Off)’s of two different Steel Structures, namely LQUM’s (Leaving Quarter Utility Member)’s were considered. For each one, the Intra-Similarity and Intra-Dissimilarity were computed using the definitions given in [1]. Also, Inter-Similarity between the two aforementioned respective entities were computed using standard Cosine Similarity Measure. Such Intra-Similarity and Intra-Dissimilarity describe how strongly units in the same group resemble each other. Such a study is useful in our context for assessing the Structural Steel Grade homogeneity or non-homogeneity throughout a structure. Furthermore, the advantage of such an Intra measure is that using this measure we can clearly distinguish the contribution of Intra aspect variation and Inter aspect variation when both are bound to occur in a given phenomenon of concern.
