The optimal design problem of a flat steel frame structure with soft connection to the P-delta effect

Abstract

In the report, the optimal design problem of flat steel frame structure in the deformed state is considered, considering the softness of “the beam-column connection pinned” with “the moments-rotation angle relationship of the connection” is nonlinear, linearized by three straight lines, the material of the structure is elastic – plastic material in ideal state and considering the P-Delta effect. Establish and solve the problem of flat steel frame structure in the form of nonlinear planning and solve the problem thanks to MATLAB 6.0 programming language. Create a specialized program to optimize the steel frame structure, the results illustrate the effect of bonding softness and P-Delta effect on the weight of steel frame structure.
