Synopsis

A compilation of twenty papers, ""Advances in Structural Optimization"" features recent contributions from the United States, Japan, Canada, and Hong Kong to improving design and performance of structures. This volume covers a wide range of contributions ranging from highly theoretical to immediate applications. The following topics are covered: optimal design using genetic algorithms, fuzzy set theory, artificial life approaches, and neural networks; reliability-based optimum design of buildings and bridges; optimal design based on minimum expected life-cycle cost; topology and shape optimization; steel and reinforced concrete frame optimization; and optimization of laminated composite structures.
