Abstract

Two methods of weight minimization of trusses subjected to two loading conditions are presented. The decision variables are the node coordinates and the bar cross-sections. The first method extends an existing iterative procedure for optimizing the geometry under a single loading condition. The second uses a decomposition method together with mathematical programming and a gradient approach. The results are valid generally in plastic design and can be adapted for building frames.
