TL;DR: The present study addresses a parallel solution algorithm for optimum design of large steel space frame structures, in particular high-rise steel buildings, with a novel discrete evolution strategy optimization method to effectively size these systems for minimum weight according to the provisions of ASD-AISC specification and various practical aspects of design process.

TL;DR: A wireless, passive, metamaterial-based sensor that allows for remotely monitoring submicron displacements over millimeter ranges and holds a great promise for applications in remote structural health monitoring.

TL;DR: The proposed sensing technology is demonstrated to be a good candidate for wireless structural health monitoring (SHM) of reinforced concrete members by its high sensitivity and wide dynamic range.

TL;DR: In this paper, the axial load on columns and structural walls at tall buildings is estimated using several analysis approaches commonly used during the design of such buildings, such as time-dependent deformations of concrete and the way the building is constructed.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the metamaterial-based sensor holds great promise for its accurate, robust and wireless measurement of the elastic and plastic deformation of a rebar, providing beneficial information for remote structural health monitoring and post-earthquake damage assessment.
