Minimum‐cost optimization of nonlinear fluid viscous dampers and their supporting members for seismic retrofitting

Summary This paper presents an effective approach for achieving minimum‐cost designs for seismic retrofitting using nonlinear fluid viscous dampers. The damping coefficients of the dampers and the stiffness coefficients of the supporting braces are designed by an optimization algorithm. A realistic...
