Abstract Seismic design of Reinforced Concrete (RC) dual systems is performed as an optimization problem for which the charged system search algorithm is utilized as an optimizer. An efficient structural modeling is also presented for this purpose. Here, first databases are created based on ACI seismic criteria for beams, columns and shear walls. Formulations for optimal seismic design of dual systems (shear wall-frame) are proposed. With some modifications on these formulations, optimal seismic design of RC moment frames can also be performed. This procedure is along with ordinary design constraints and effective seismic design constraints. These constraints consist of beams, columns, shear wall design criteria, and some other seismic provisions. Cost of the structure is considered as the objective function. According to the results of the numerical example, the proposed methodology can be considered as a suitable practical approach for optimal seismic design of reinforced concrete shear wall-frame structures.
