About this title

Synopsis

Proceedings of the First US-Japan Joint Seminar on Structural Optimization at Structures Congress XIV, held in Chicago, Illinois, April 13, 1996.This collection contains 20 papers highlighting improvements to the design and performance of structures contributed by engineers in the United States, Japan, Canada, and Hong Kong. Papers range from the highly theoretical to immediate applications.Topics 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.
