suitable for initial design where most of the project cost is defined. Weight optimization is traditionally very_x000D_
important in structural engineering. Weight-optimal design features structural stresses and other constraints on_x000D_
the permissible limit. Drawing on this fact, this project attempts to see if searching for optimal designs along_x000D_
the border of permissible design space can accelerate the search for optimal structural typologies. This has_x000D_
shown to reduce computational time in optimization of structural scantlings. Genetic algorithm is used as an_x000D_
optimizer, in order to deal with discrete nature of the problem and to avoid local pitfalls. Manufacturing_x000D_
requirements are considered., program purpose french : Computational approaches for optimization of engineering systems need to be developed further to make them_x000D_
