APPLICATION OF LAYOUT OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUE TO LARGE-SCALE FRAME STRUCTURES CONSIDERING CROSS-SECTIONAL AREAS OF FRAME MEMBERS

Application of layout optimization technique to large-scale frame structures considering cross-sectional areas of frame members

To design economical frame structures, it is necessary to determine the optimum frame layout and optimum cross-sectional area of each frame member.Although previous studies have proposed a variety of optimization methods, they can be applicable to small-scale frame structures and have been verified only for simple frame structures with a small numb
