Comprehensive Review of Optimal and Smart Design of Nonlinear Building Structures With and Without Passive Dampers Subjected to Earthquake Loading

The optimal and smart design of nonlinear building structures with without passive dampers subjected to earthquake loading is great concern in the structural structures. research started around 1980 many investigations have been conducted. A comprehensive review on this subject made article. After description essential features problem under ground motions, analysis types optimization problems are explained significance dynamic pushover discussed from viewpoint limit states motions magnitude larger than code-specified level. Then, categorization by response frames was made. In categorization, several subjects first: 1) Optimal bare seismic loading, 2) for elastic 3) linear 4) specified 5) 6) Simultaneous elastic-plastic dampers. Finally, classification researches view solution strategies conducted providing another viewpoint.
