Abstract
It is known that the topology optimization (TopOpt) problem of frame structures can be formulated as a mixed-integer second-order cone programming problem (MISOCP), when the compliance is minimized and the cross-section of each member is selected from a set of predetermined candidates. However, when considering the constructability of real-world building structures, it is insufficient to only minimize compliance. In this paper, in order to control the density of members, the constraints of the number of members connected to each node are additionally considered into TopOpt by MISOCP treated in the previous study.
