Structural Seismic Design Optimization and Earthquake Engineering : Formulations and Applications

Product Description

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 Design Optimization and Earthquake Engineering: Formulations and Applications focuses on the research aro…
