Optimum design of composite frames with semi-rigid connections using genetic algorithm = Thiết kế tối ưu kết cấu khung composite với liên kết nửa cứng sử dụng thuật giải di truyền

Abstract

The purpose of this work presents the behavior of semi-rigid connections in composite structures. A Genetic Algorithm based optimum design method is presented for composite frames with semi-rigid connections. The design algorithm obtains a frame with the least weight (beam, column and number of shear connectors per beam) by selecting appropriate sections from a standard set of AISC.
