Although civil engineering problems are often characterized by significant levels of
complexity, they are generally approached and solved by combining several practitioners' …

The Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the P-QRS-T wave depicting the cardiac activity of the heart.
The subtle changes in the electric potential patterns of repolarization and depolarization are …

Recently the authors presented a two-phase genetic algorithm (GA) for minimum weight
design of free-form steel space-frame roof structures consisting of discrete commercially …

This paper presents a review of interesting work on optimization of highrise building
structures with a focus on large-scale and real-life structures. A number of interesting …

This study presents a new method to find the optimal control forces for active tuned mass
damper. The method uses three algorithms: discrete wavelet transform (DWT), particle …

In this paper, a review of recent journal articles on passive, active, semi-active, and hybrid
vibration control of structures subjected to dynamic loading is presented. Passive systems …

Railway systems are time-varying and complex systems with nonlinear behaviors that
require effective optimization techniques to achieve optimal performance. Evolutionary …

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in permanent observation of the
dynamic behaviour of bridges for long-term monitoring purpose. This is due not only to the …

The response surface (RS) method based on radial basis functions (RBFs) is proposed to
model the input–output system of large‐scale structures for model updating in this article. As …

A two-phase genetic algorithm is presented for simultaneous sizing and topology
