Risk-Based Multiobjective Optimal Seismic Design for RC Piers Using the Response Surface Method and NSGA-II [PDF]

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2021
In this paper, a risk-based multiobjective optimal seismic design method for reinforced concrete (RC) piers is proposed. This method is used to determine the size and reinforcement ratios of piers to minimize the seismic risk of bridge systems and the ...
