520 |a Today's biggest structural engineering challenge is to design better structures, and a key issue is the need to take an integrated approach which balances control of costs with the requirement for handling earthquakes and other dynamic forces. Structural optimization is based on rigorous mathematical formulation and requires computation algorithms for sizing structural elements and synthesizing systems. Now that the right software and enough computing power are readily available, professionals can develop a suite of alternative designs and a select suitable one. 
520 |a A thoroughly-written and practical book on structural optimization is long overdue. This solid book comprehensively presents current optimization strategies, illustrated with sufficient examples of the design of elements and systems, and presenting descriptions of the process and results. Emphasis is given to dynamic loading, in particular to seismic forces. 
520 |a Practising engineers and researchers and will find this book an excellent reference, and advanced undergraduates or graduate students can use it as a resource for structural optimization design. --Book Jacket.
