    Cost Optimization of RC Planar Frames on The Basis Of Direct Displacement-Based Seismic Design Methodology
    (Addis Ababa University, 2019-06) Ababi, Mulugeta; Bedilu, Habte (PhD)
    The study is to come up with an optimal solution for the design of reinforced concrete planar frames using the principle of direct displacement-based design. Firstly, the fundamentals of displacement-based design introduced with its application to concrete frame design. After that, the design process shaped in a way that result to cost effective design of two-dimensional frames. The problem solved using MATLAB GlobalSearch Algorithm.
