Structural Optimization: Maximizing Height

Description

This lecture explores the concept of maximizing height in structural design, focusing on the principles of moving material away from the neutral axis to increase resistance and rigidity. It discusses the static efficiency variations with constant and variable section, comparing beams with constant and variable sections in steel structures. The observations on static efficiency and the benefits of varying the section are also analyzed, leading to conclusions on section orientation and shape for optimal efficiency.
