Metaheuristic Optimization for the Performance-Based Design of Steel Concentrically Braced Frames

Abstract

AbstractStructural engineers aim to design buildings that perform reliably during earthquakes. Performance-based design (PBD) is a powerful approach that minimizes damage and enhances safety. This study investigates an optimal PBD for two-dimensional 3-...Practical ApplicationsUsing linear static analysis (LSA) for structural analysis is a method that has been used less in research. Also, optimizing the concentrically braced steel frames (CBFs) has received less attention from researchers. For this reason, ...
