In shear wall-based buildings, locating the shear wall in plan has an important role in the
resistance of seismic loading. In this article, the minimum torsion is considered as one of the …

Due to a large number of design variables involved in the optimization of RC structures, a
multi stage cascade optimization is used. This algorithm speeds up an accurate optimal …

In the design of high-rise buildings, the lateral structural system that resists seismic and wind
actions often dominates the overall design, and as a result, the optimum design of the lateral …

Shear wall design is one of the optimization problems, due to the presence of various
parameters and its inhomogeneity, it has always attracted the attention of researchers and …

In the design of tall buildings, the lateral system that resists wind and seismic loading usually
dominates the structural engineering effort; therefore, optimal lateral system design is …

In multi-tower buildings, the towers interact with each other because the bodies of each
tower are connected by a podium, thus making the optimization design of this type of …

Optimization of a structure refers to a design procedure that results in the most economical
structure in terms of materials and sizing of sections. In structures with steel plate shear …

The scope of this paper is to present a novel design methodology that relies on the tabu
search (TS) algorithm and aims to optimize the shear wall layout of high-rise buildings. By …

This paper presents a method for easy calculation of the optimum dimensions of the shear
walls openings based on deformation and displacement of the wall in the roof elevation with …

This research focuses on the effects of stiffeners and architectural opening on the steel
shear wall topology optimization. To this aim, four relevant issues have been considered …
