The continuous developments of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Architecture,
Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry supported by the advancements in material …

In infrastructure management, multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) has emerged as a
decision support tool to integrate various technical information and stakeholder values …

Structural engineering is focused on the safe and efficient design of infrastructure. Projects
can range in size and complexity, many requiring massive amounts of materials and …

Steel portal frames were traditionally designed assuming that beam-to-column joints are
ideally pinned or fully rigid. This simplifies the analysis and structural design processes, but …

Tensegrity structures are spatial structural systems composed of struts and cables with pin-
jointed connections. Their stability is provided by the self-stress state in tensioned and …

In this paper, we propose an effective and accurate method for optimizing space steel
frames with semi-rigid joints using practical advanced analysis (PAA) and micro-genetic …

In this study, we develop a seismic optimization method to minimize the semi-rigid steel
frame cost. In the proposed method, cross-sections of columns and beams and types of …

We propose a new algorithm, named Asymmetric Genetic Algorithm (AGA), for solving
optimization problems of steel frames. The AGA consists of a developed penalty function …

The load transfer mechanism in cold-formed steel (CFS) bolted moment connections is
mainly through the bolt group in the web of beam elements, which may lead to relatively …

In this study, a two-stage structural optimization method is presented for multistory steel
frames with semi-rigid connections. Based on the traditional optimization result in the first …
