Optimization of Bridge Trusses Height and Bars Cross-Sections

The problems of optimal design of truss-type structures, aimed at determining the minimal volume (weight) of the structure, while optimizing the bar cross-sections and the truss height, are considered. The considered problem is treated as a nonlinear problem of discrete optimization. In addition to...
