About this course
Structural Optimization in Civil Engineering is an advanced course designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to design efficient and sustainable structures using state-of-the-art optimization techniques. The course covers the theoretical foundations of structural optimization, including size, shape, and topology optimization, and introduces various optimization methods such as linear and non-linear programming, and metaheuristic algorithms.
- Explore the significance of sustainability and efficiency in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry.
- Understand the four major steps in the structural optimization process: structural analysis and modelling, formulation of optimization problems, optimization techniques, and computational tools and design platforms.
- Analyze optimization objectives and their temporal and spatial trends in civil engineering.
- Learn about the current limitations and future directions in the field of structural optimization.
By the end of this course, students will be proficient in applying optimization methods to real-world civil engineering projects, aiming to minimize costs, reduce environmental impacts, and improve structural performance.
