Summary
This chapter presents a evolution strategies approach for multiobjective design optimization of structural problems such as space frames and multi-layered space trusses under static and seismic loading conditions. A rigorous approach and a simplified one with respect to the loading condition are implemented for finding optimal design of a structure under multiple objectives.
