Simultaneous Optimization of Elastic-Plastic Building Structures and Viscous Dampers Under Critical Double Impulse

A new method for simultaneous optimal design of main building structures and viscous dampers is proposed for elastic-plastic multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) building structures subjected to the critical double impulse which is regarded as a representative of the main part of near-fault ground motions...
