A cost model consisting of fabrication, handling, cladding, foundation and erection costs is constructed and a suite of programs is developed to analyse, design, cost and optimize a family of precast concrete structures. These procedures are further illustrated with cost response surfaces which are

This paper describes an approach to shape optimal design of elastic space frames with kinematically non-linear response. A space frame structure is treated as to be assembled from several frame design elements each of them being defined as a skeleton lying on a rational BeΒ΄zier patch. The design var
## Abstract This paper describes an approach to shape optimal design of elastic planar frames with nonβlinear response. The foundation of the proposed approach forms an appropriate strategy of shape representation of the structure, based on the design element technique. A frame structure is treated
