Optimum Seismic Design Assessment of Tall Buildings Based on Life Cycle Cost Using Endurance Time Method, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Esmail Pourestekanchi, Homayoon (Supervisor) ; Ghannad, Mohammad Ali (Co-Supervisor)
Abstract
The relatively large number of structural elements and the variety of design code requirements complicate the design process of tall buildings. This process is exacerbated when the target is to obtain the seismic code-compliant optimal design with the minimum weight which results in a large-scale and challenging optimization problem. On the other hand, past earthquakes and hurricanes demonstrated that while satisfying the requirements of the conventional design codes guarantees the life safety of the occupants, significant economic losses may still be incurred. This highlights the importance of considering life cycle costs in the design process of the structures. But the issue is that the...
