DIMENSIONAMENTO ÓTIMO DE PILARES MISTOS PREENCHIDOS DE AÇO E CONCRETO ATRAVÉS DO EN1994-1-1:2004

Resumo

The objective of this work is to present the formulation of the optimization problem and
applications of filled composite columns of steel and concrete with and without reinforcement according
to EN 1994-1-1:2004. The solution of the optimization problem was obtained through the Genetic
Algorithm Method. A software was developed on the Matlab platform using the tool guide. Numerical
examples are presented, and the results found by the elaborated software demonstrated that the Genetic
Algorithm Method obtained relatively lower costs due to the use of hollow section catalogs.
