Performance Investigation of Metaheuristic Niched-Pareto Genetic Algorithm for Imperfection Assessment of Structures

Structures depending on the type of their application are subject to different types of loading, such as wind, earthquake and explosion loads. On the other hand, in order to increase the useful lifetime of the structures, optimal operating conditions must be provided. Inappropriate utilization, exce...

description Structures depending on the type of their application are subject to different types of loading, such as wind, earthquake and explosion loads.
