Abstract
Abstract This paper is concerned with the incorporation of different forms of imprecision and uncertainty into the formulation and solution of optimum structural design problems. The statistical uncertainties inherent in material properties and structural loadings are modelled by a first-order second-moment reliability approach. Resulting constraint boundaries are then treated as “soft” boundary regions in which the non-statistical uncertainties, and quality aspects of design and construction are handled by fuzzy set operations.
