Fuzzy logic based estimation of effective lengths of columns in partially braced multi-storey frames
Devdas Menon(India)

 
Abstract
    Columns in multi-storey frames are presently categorised as either braced or unbraced,
usually by means of the stability index criterion, for estimating their effective length ratios by design aids
such as
 
Key Words
