Capacity Design Optimization of Steel Building Frameworks Using Nonlinear Time-History Analysis

This study proposes a seismic design optimization method for steel building frameworks following the capacity design principle. Currently, when a structural design employs an elastic analysis to evaluate structural demands, the analysis results can be used only for the design of fuse members, and th...
