Abstract
The paper presents a formulation for the nonlinear optimization of reinforced concrete frames based on inelastic analysis. A computer program is developed for this formulation and is described with the aid of flow-charts. Important computational steps of the optimization procedure are also given. Four selected frames are optimized using the program and the results are presented. It is concluded that the formulation leads to minimum cost designs of reinforced concrete frames through realistic analysis. © 1981, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.
