Guide to Structural Optimization


Book Description

Optimization methods are perceived to be at the heart of computer methods for designing engineering systems. With these optimization methods, the designer can evaluate more alternatives, resulting in a better and more cost-effective design. This guide describes the use of modern optimization methods with simple yet meaningful structural design examples. Optimum solutions are obtained and, where possible, compared with the solutions obtained using traditional design procedures.







Building Design Management


Book Description

A practical handbook on the management of building design, this guide explains the process, rules and responsibilities of those involved and ways to maximise efficiency. Well structured and easy to read, the book includes useful notes and checklists.
