"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.
