Performance Based Design of RCS Frames
Abstract eng: To facilitate the analysis, design and construction process of RCS frames (Reinforced Concrete columns and Steel beams) with eliminated embedded steel erection column in low and moderate rise buildings, this paper introduces a type of rigid beam to column connection and discusses its moment curvature behavior obtained from finite element analysis using ABAQUS software. The next step was to develop an estimation of acceptance criteria required for performance based seismic design of such frames by using nonlinear static analyses results. At the end, Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) theory was employed to accomplish the performance based design process, utilizing a MATLAB program for optimization and OpenSEES (Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation) software capabilities in structural analysis.
