Abstract
An optimum design problem is treated to determine a frame structure minimizing the structural cost or weight under the constraints on the allowable failure probabilities of critical sections specified in the structure. The design variables are the geometrical dimensions of the structure while its configuration and the loading conditions are specified together with their probabilistic nature. The optimization problem is reduced to a nonlinear programming and it is solved by using the sequential linear programming.
