Performance Based Optimized Design of Steel Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

During the past two centuries, steel structure has become one of the most popular structural system. How to balance the construction cost, structural properties and other factors is an important aspect needed to be addressed. This paper describes the whole process of performance based optimized design of steel structure. First, the methods on the shape and sizing optimization, cost and others are introduced. Then, the multi-object optimization of steel structure is presented, in which the main aspects of the optimizations are studied. Finally, the design principle and the analytical steps for the multi-object optimization of steel structures are discussed. This paper can be references for the optimization design of steel structures.
