Assessment of the Effectiveness of Cabling System Configuration in Retrofitting Steel-Concrete Composite Buildings

“…Hence, the locations where the operations take place need to be strategically defined in order to maximize the beneficial effect of the retrofit. The selection can performed either manually using specific guidelines that describe the approach with the maximum efficiency, or by automatic optimization algorithms that use a probabilistic approach to select and evaluate different solutions, until an optimum is defined [43][44]56]. …”
