Topology Optimization of Concrete Structures using an Evolutionary Procedure

점진적최적화기법을 이용한 콘크리트 구조물의 위상최적화

Topology optimization of a concrete structure is discussed using an Evolutionary Structural Optimization(ESO) method introduced by Xie and Steven. During the evolution process low stressed materials are progressively removed from the structure. This paper discussed a proper rejection criterion(RC) to get a more reasonable topology of concrete structure. Some examples are presented to illustrate the optimum topology achieved by such a procedure.
