Optimum Design of Structures : With Special Reference to Alternative Loads Using Geometric Programming /

This book presents the integrated approach of analysis and optimal design of structures. This approach, which is more convenient than the so-called nested approach, has the difficulty of generating a large optimization problem. To overcome this problem a methodology of decomposition by multilevel is...
