1. |  Structural Seismic Design Optimization and Earthquake Engineering By: Vagelis Plevris; Chara Mitropoulou; Nikos Lagaros Publisher: IGI Global Publication Date: 31-MAY-2012 Insert Date: 19-JUN-2013 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Structural Seismic Design Optimization and Earthquake Engineering Throughout the past few years, there has been extensive research done on structural design in terms of optimization methods or problem formulation. But, much of this attention has been on the linear elastic structural behavior, under static loading condition. Such a focus has left researchers scratching their heads as it has led to vulnerable structural configurations. What researchers have left out of the equation is the element of seismic loading. It is essential for researchers to take this into account in order to develop earthquake resistant real-world structures. Structural Seismic...
