Development an Artificial Neural Network Model for Estimating Cost of R/C Building by Using Life‐Cycle Cost Function: Case Study of Mexico City

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
This paper addresses the importance of engineering asset management decisions and control. For this purpose, a Life‐Cycle Cost (LCC) analysis is conducted for typical reinforced concrete (R/C) buildings located in Mexico City. The objective of this study is to develop an artificial neural network (ANN) model that can estimate the total expected cost of

Enhanced Seismic Structural Reliability on Reinforced Concrete Buildings by Using Buckling Restrained Braces

open access: yesShock and Vibration, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
The control of vibrations and damage in traditional reinforced concrete (RC) buildings under earthquakes is a difficult task. It requires the use of innovative devices to enhance the seismic behavior of concrete buildings. In this paper, we design RC buildings with buckling restrained braces (BRBs) to achieve this objective.
