Many roofs collapse or damages have been reported due to heavy snowfalls in various regions of the world during winter season. Due to this, researchers have been trying to create maps to give the variation of ground snow loads precisely, and to estimate the snow loads more accurately than the existing standards which calculate roof snow loads as th...

This study presents applications of a simulated annealing integrated solution algorithm to
the optimum design of single-span steel truss bridges subjected to gravity loadings. In the
optimum design process of a bridge the members are sized simultaneously as the coordinates
of the upper chord nodes are determined such that the least design weight is...
Topology optimization of truss structure is relevant and together complex technical problem due to the objective function is non-linear and non-convex. Current traditional structural optimization methods often lack the ability to find original optimal designs because of their deterministic nature, while those employing stochastic methods are not ta...
This paper deals with optimization of truss designs used as compliant mech-anisms. For this, genetic algorithms based on evolutionary techniques are used. The genetic algorithm is explained and its use is shown on planar structures with 6 and 12 nodes. The structures are optimized with respect to a maximization of the dis-placement of a single node...
The Equivalent Static Loads Method (ESLM) is an algorithm intended for dynamic response structural optimization. The algorithm attempts to solve a sequence of static response structural optimization problems approximating the original problem. It is argued in several published articles that if the ESLM converges, then it finds a KKT point of the co...
The paper describes the development, testing, and initial findings of a design tool that generates parametrically defined, semi-automatically analyzed, and visualized structural performance of specific truss designs. The prototypical design tool provides structural truss solutions for spans of uniform to non-uniform surface curvatures. Real-time vi...
