Optimum location of a single longitudinal stiffener with various cross-section shapes of steel plate girders under bending loading
Optimum location of a single longitudinal stiffener with various cross-section shapes of steel plate girders under bending loading
This paper aims at investigating the optimum location of a single longitudinal stiffener having various crosssection types of steel plate girders subjected to bending loading. The optimum location is found using a gradient-based Interior-Point (IP) optimization algorithm.
