In this paper, an algorithm is presented for the optimum design of unbraced rigid frames which takes into account the non-linear response of the frame due to the eect of axial loads. It considers sway constraints and combined stress limitations in the design problem. While the optimality criteria ap

A solution technique based on the sequential linear programming (SLP) method is presented for the optimum design of braced and unbraced steel frames in seismic regions. First, the optimum rigidity distribution of the frames under static loading is computed, then the optimization procedure is repeate
Proposed in this paper is an approach of evaluating the elastic buckling loads for multi-storey unbraced steel frames subjected to variable loading or non-proportional loading. In the case of variable loading, the conventional assumption of proportional loading is abandoned, and different load patte
