MATHEMATICAL PROGRAMMING IN STRUCTURAL DESIGN

A technique is presented for implementation of mathematical programming in structural design developing what is termed a 'generalized formulation. ' A simple plate girder example is used to introduce the concept of generalized formulations using the computer program based on the Generalized Geometric Programming method. A generalized formulation is developed for the design of a simply-supported composite highway bridge with steel stringers and concrete slab.
