A New Assessment in the Simultaneous Optimization of Friction Dampers in Plane and Spatial Civil Structures
This paper presents a methodology to improve installation of friction dampers in civil structures subjected to artificial and real earthquakes using a metaheuristic optimization technique. The Firefly Algorithm is used in this work and it is linked with a computational routine based on Finite Differ...
