Optimal Placement of Passive Energy Dissipation Devices by Genetic Algorithms

Table 5

Location optimization of MDs for 5-storey building.

Site	Modes 1 and 2	Mode 3	Modes 4 and 5	Mode 6
I	1 2 3	1 2 3	1 2 4	1 2 4
II	1 2 3	1 2 3	1 2 3	1 2 3
III	1 2 3	1 2 3	1 2 5	1 2 5
IV	1 2 3	1 2 5	1 2 5/1 3 5	1 2 5

Annotation: the numbers in the table represent the floor of optimal location. For example, number 1 and 2 mean that dampers are positioned at the first and the second floor of the building.
