Minimizing Base Column Demands in Multi-Story Buckling Restrained Braced Frames Using Genetic Algorithms

Most structural optimization procedures focus on minimizing the total volume of steel in an attempt to reduce overall costs. However, many other factors can have an effect on the overall cost of a structure. Base column demands in particular, can affect base plate sizes, anchorage, and foundation de...
