Abstract

Three different types of lateral resisting steel moment frames consisting of ordinary moment frame (OMF), intermediate moment frame (IMF) and special moment frame (SMF) are available for design of 3D frames in literature. In this paper, optimum seismic design of 3D steel moment frames with different types of lateral resisting systems are performed according to the AISC-LRFD design criteria. A comparison is made considering the results of the above mentioned frames of different ductility types. These frames are analyzed by Response Spectrum Analysis (RSA), and optimizations are performed using nine different well-established metaheuristic algorithms. Performances of these algorithms are then compared for introducing the most suitable metaheuristic algorithms for optimal design of the 3D frames.
