N2 - This chapter presents a methodology for designing irregular 3D RC frame buildings by minimizing the total steel volume while satisfying inter-story drifts and material strains limits. Indirectly, this process leads to reduction on the base shear and over-turning moments. The methodology relies only on analysis tools, without any need for knowledge or tools of structural optimization. Although iterative, the methodology requires only a few iterations for convergence. This makes the methodology very attractive for practical use.
