Abstract: This paper presents a constrained multiobjective (multicriterion, vector) optimization methodology by integrating a Pareto genetic algorithm (GA) and a fuzzy penalty function method. A Pareto GA generates a Pareto optimal ...

Abstract: A theoretical study is carried out for optimal controller placement and effectiveness of a hybrid seismic response control system comprising a viscous fluid damper and a servovalve-controlled hydraulic actuator. A stochastic ...

Abstract: A structural optimization algorithm based on an optimality criteria approach is presented for three‐dimensional, statically and dynamically loaded steel or reinforced concrete structures. The theoretical work is presented ...

Abstract: Differential equations, stiffness coefficients, and fixed‐end forces are formulated for a Timoshenko beam‐column on an elastic foundation subjected to lateral time‐dependent excitations and static axial loads. The theoretical ...

Abstract: Two approaches are used to derive differential equations, stiffness coefficients, and fixed‐end forces for the analysis of structural systems composed of Timoshenko beam‐columns that may be supported by an elastic foundation. ...

Abstract: The theoretical derivations and numerical procedures used in the computer program ODSEWS‐2D‐II for the analysis and optimum design of two‐dimensional regular and irregular steel frames subjected to static, earthquake, and ...

Abstract: The paper presents analytical studies of hysteretic behavior of open‐web girders with angle web members. The partial inelasticity of the member cross section is traced using finite segment formulation with stress‐strain ...

Abstract: This paper presents the investigation of the collapse behavior of a 22‐story steel building during the September 19, 1985, Mexico City earthquake by studying hysteretic behavior, ductility factors of individual structural ...
