This article presents a brief survey on some of the latest developments in the area of
reliability-based design optimization of structural systems under stochastic excitation. The …

This literature survey concerns the application of optimization techniques to cable-stayed
bridges. A search within the Web of Science and Scopus electronic databases was …

Life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) can be efficiently used to quantify wind-induced damage on
a tall building. The LCCA selects an “optimal” design solution by minimizing over structural …

Base isolation is the most widespread passive control strategy for seismic protection of low-
and medium-rise Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings. The excellent performance of base …

This paper deals with an efficient reliability-based robust design optimization (RBRDO) of
structures under extreme wind excitation. To solve such problems in the direct Monte Carlo …

The blast hazards are associated with extreme randomness. Thus, structures under blast
should be properly designed for such highly uncertain phenomena. However, codal …

This paper describes a novel numerical algorithm for the simulation of the along-wind
dynamic response of a prototype of slender towers under turbulent winds, using a Layered …

The early stages of the design process of wind-excited tall buildings involve several
decisions on structural typology, shape, orientation, optional control system, and type and …

The high level of damage suffered by historical structures due to the interaction between
materials' aging and seismic events that occurred during the last decade has revealed the …

Guyed lattice transmission line towers (TLTs) have been often used in transmission lines
(TL) because they are light and easily adapted to flat terrains. Even so, a comprehensive …
