Efficient Design Optimization of Cable-Stayed Bridges: A Two-Layer Framework with Surrogate-Model-Assisted Prediction of Optimum Cable Forces

Cable-stayed bridges have commonly been built for crossing large-span obstacles, such as rivers, valleys, and existing structures. Obtaining an optimum design for a cable-stayed bridge is challenging, due to the large number of design variables and design constraints that are typically nonlinear and...
