Performance-Based Optimization of Structures introduces a method to
bridge the gap between structural optimization theory and its
practical application to structural engineering. The
Performance-Based Optimization (PBO) method combines modern
structural optimisation theory with performance based design
concepts to produce a powerful technique for use in structural
design. This book provides the latest PBO techniques for achieving
optimal topologies and shapes of continuum structures with stress,
displacement and mean compliance constraints. The emphasis is
strongly placed on practical applications of automated PBO
techniques to the strut-and-tie modelling of structural concrete,
which includes reinforced and prestressed concrete structures.
Basic concepts underlying the development of strut-and-lie models,
design optimization procedure, and detailing of structural concrete
are described in detail. Alternative approaches to topology
optimization are also introduced. The book contains numerous
practical design examples illustrating the nature of the load
transfer mechanism of structures.
