| Summary: | The paper deals with discussion of optimization problem in civil engineering structural space design. Minimization of mass should satisfy the limit state capacity and serviceability conditions. The cross-sectional areas of bars and structural dimensions are taken as design variables. Variables are used in the form of continuous and discrete. The analysis is done using the Structural and Design of Experiments modules of Ansys Workbench v17.2. As result of the method a mass reduction of 46,6 % is achieved. |
