Inelastic Displacement Spectra for Bridges Using the Substitute-Structure Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Comparison of Nonlinear Static Procedures and Modeling Assumptions for the Seismic Design of Ordinary Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Optimized Design of Two-Dimensional Structures Using a Genetic Algorithm
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A design procedure incorporating a simple genetic algorithm (GA) is developed for discrete optimization of two-dimensional structures. The objective function considered is the total weight (or cost) of the structure. The ...
Flexural Design of Reinforced Concrete Frames Using a Genetic Algorithm
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A design procedure implementing a genetic algorithm is developed for discrete optimization of reinforced concrete frames (
Probabilistic Performance-Based Optimal Design of Steel Moment-Resisting Frames. II: Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Design codes are migrating from prescriptive procedures intended to preserve life safety to reliability-based design. All stakeholders are given the opportunity to speak the common language of risk and structural designs ...
Probabilistic Performance-Based Optimal Design of Steel Moment-Resisting Frames. I: Formulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Significant progress has been made in the preceding two decades in the area of seismic engineering. Design codes are very quickly migrating from prescriptive procedures intended to preserve life safety to reliability-based ...
Application of Metaheuristic Algorithms in Ground Motion Selection and Scaling for Time History Analysis of Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, we utilize two metaheuristic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, and biogeography-based optimization, to select and scale ground motion (GM) records for use in the time history analysis of structures. ...
Comparison of Static and Dynamic Lateral Stiffnesses of a Driven Pile
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Accurate modeling of support conditions is important in the analysis of bridges for seismic loading. To address the problem of modeling the soil-structure interface of bridges supported by piles driven in loess in West ...
