ABSTRACT : This paragraph contained the writers purpose on this journal, he uses 3 constraint to optimize
simple MOMENT RESISTING FRAME Building System.
INTRODUCTION : 1st Alinea displaying codes that widely suggest a concept named SCWB, 2nd alinea directly
jump into discussion about Automation, and the writter ensure the benefits on combining two automation
method. He then confirmed to validate this journal result with common method Non-Linear Static Analysis.
THEORIES : This chapter content some information of Non-Linear Static Analysis, Strong Column-Weak Beam,
Column Failure Mechanism, Simple Genetic Algorithm (detail discussed on the next page)
STEEL STRUCTURE MODEL FOR OPTIMIZATION : This contain of this paragraph describe the main building model
which will be conducted to be analyze in several conditions. Ghozi then encrypt his algorythm as in tensor
language (discuss later)
RESULT AND DISCUSSION : (detail discussed on the next page)
CONCLUSION : It is concluded that optimization considering the sequence of column failure mechanism is
very useful and should be included in every design of steel structure.
THEORIES REVIEW
This FRAME is :
- designed according to AISC-LRFD specification
- uses a displacement constraint (story drift < story
height/300).
- The effective length factors of the members are
calculated as Kx 1.0 for a sway-permitted frame.
- Beam members are required to remain the same size
for three consecutive stories, excluding the top story
beam.
- each beam member is specified to be Ky = 0.2
columns are required to remain the same over two
stories.
- column member is specified to be Ky = 1.0
- The total number of design variables is nine

RESULT REVIEW
As we try to make our re-iterations of the journal. We found that the journal didn t include
necessary data to make Steel Frame Design.
Therefore we try to find the necessary data in DESIGN OF NONLINEAR FRAMED STRUCTURES USING
GENETIC OPTIMIZATION (Pezeskh,et al , 2000).
Steel Properties :
E = 29000 ksi
Fy = 36 ksi
Frame Data :
Height = 15ft (story 1), 12ft@9 story (total H = 123ft)
Loading Data:
Dead Load = Structure Self Weight
FUNCTION 1 =
Section Stress must be less than 1
Story drift must be less than Story height/300
FUNCTION 2 =
Section Stress must be less than 1
Story drift must be less than H/300
Strong Column Weak Beam must be fulfilled
Column Capacity at lower story must be higher than its top

RESULTS REVIEW (PUSHOVER NON LINEAR STATIC ANALYSIS)
Optimization using SAP2K built-in algorithm maybe used, but it flexibility is being limited by the
fact that SAP2K is not an open-source program
Optimization using SAP2K for Steel Frame is hard to achieve because many constraints to make
our frame perform as an ductile structure with good energy dissipation.
Adding SCWB and Column Prevention Method increasing frame ductility by good amount of
margin.
Short time frame for GA-SAP2K optimization makes the method good for use if not using many
constraint.
