Abstract

Optimum design of tapered steel I-columns is presented in the paper. The design considered is the minimum weight design of columns with constant flange area but with varying web area. The web is of uniform thickness and is tapered linearly. The column is assumed to be slender enough so as to permit an optimum proportioning based on elastic buckling. The problem is solved using an optimal parameter selection technique.
