Performance based optimum seismic design of reinforced concrete structures.

A fully atuomated design methodology based on nonlinear response history analysis is proposed for the optimum seismic design of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. The conventional trial and error process is replaced by a structural optimization algorithm that serves as a search engine capable of l...
