Abstract
A modified simplex technique is described for the optimal plastic design of plane frames subject to one or more loading cases using a minimum weight criteria for the selection of relative member sizes. The initial tableau is based on the lower bound (equilibrium) method and can be constructed automatically from geometrical and loop information describing the structure and also loading data. The small tableau size makes the method efficient and hence feasible to use in interactive design programs.
