| Abstract: |
In this paper an example of application of structural optimization methodologies is presented describing the minimization of the amount of prestressing steel required in a prestressed concrete bridge built by cantilever construction procedure. The numerical results obtained show that this approach reduces the quantity of material needed and does not introduce any additional complexity to bridge construction. |
