Automatic Column Grouping of 3D Steel Frames via Multi-Objective Structural Optimization

Formulations of structural optimization problems are proposed in this paper to automatically find the best grouping of columns in 3D steel buildings. In these formulations, the conflicting objective functions, minimized simultaneously, are the weight of the structure and the number of different grou...
