Abstract
The structural optimization can achieve weight and cost
savings by changing the structural characteristics. The
characteristics of a structure are as follows: loads, materials,
geometry, topology, shapes and dimensions of profiles,
connections, fabrication technology, transport, erection,
maintenance. A modern structure should be safe and
economic. Safety is guaranteed by fulfilling the design
constraints, economy is achieved by minimization of a cost
function. The welded I-beams subject to compression,
bending and to combined action are optimized considering
stability constraints according to Eurocode 3. Comparison is
made between welded and rolled I-beams.
