Optimum Analysis of Damper Braces Based on Genetic Algorithm[J]. Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2007, 29(3): 57-60. DOI: 10.11835/j.issn.1674-4764.2007.03.014.
The aims at optimization of structure with damper braces is studied in this paper. The sum of damping coefficient of all damper braces is considered as a goal function
and the storey displacements are considered as constraint conditions. The program
which introduces the non-proportional damp matrix
based on genetic algorithm and time history is used to analyze the optimization of a damper braced frame. The results are reasonable and show that the genetic algorithm is an efficient method to optimize the damper braced structure.
