Structural optimization within concrete construction has been increasingly taken up in
research within the last two decades. Possible drivers are the need for material-reduced and …

In this paper, we propose a unified aggregation and relaxation approach for topology
optimization with stress constraints. Following this approach, we first reformulate the original …

This work presents a structural optimization framework for the seismic design of multi–storey
composite buildings, which have steel HEB-columns fully encased in concrete, steel IPE …

This paper presents a study showing the optimization of the mass, direct (self-
manufacturing) costs, and energy life-cycle costs of composite floor structures composed of …

The paper presents an optimal design of timber-concrete composite floors based on multi-
parametric mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) optimization. For this purpose …

This paper deals with a comparative study of an optimal design regarding composite steel
and concrete floor structures based on the performed multi-parametric mixed-integer non …

Considering stress constraints in multi-material topology optimization is of great importance
from both theoretical and application perspectives. In this article, the stress-constrained multi …

A strategy for tension/compression anisotropy enhancement of topology optimization
approaches is presented. To this end, a spectral decomposition of stresses and strains into …

This research develops a new interpolation scheme, a separable stress interpolation (SSI)
which allows stress-based topology optimization with multiple materials (STOMM). In …

In order to eliminate stress-related wrinkles in cable-suspended membrane structures and to
provide simple and reliable deployment, this study presents a multi-material topology …
