Steel column base connections represent a critical aspect of modern structural engineering, particularly in seismic regions where the integrity and ductility of these joints can determine overall ...

The evaluation of the rigidity of the column base plates is a sensitive subject because of the diversity of the involved components. Historically, the joints were almost always sorted conventionnally ...

Abstract: Genetic algorithm (GA) is a useful method for optimization of problems which their calculations have different steps. Also, it is suitable for problems in ...
