Abstract

A brief retrospective of the past eight years of research efforts at the University of Colorado, Boulder, in reliability-based structural optimization (RBSO) is presented. This includes research related to (a) new formulations of both multi-limit state and multi-objective RBSO of steel and reinforced concrete structures, (b) use of interactive graphics in RBSO, (c) sensitivity of RBSO solutions to change in problem parameters, (d) RBSO of special structures such as large frames and bridges, (e) damage-tolerant RBSO, and (f) new probabilistic finite element formulations for nonlinear concrete structures.
