The concept of application of dynamic programming methods in optimizing elements of reinforced concrete structures
It is shown that for solving a practical problem of optimization of elements of reinforced concrete structures it is advisable to use dynamic programming methods. It has been established that this approach allows one to describe not only the structure and content of the system under study, but also its dynamics. A general concept of using dynamic programming methods in the optimization of reinforced concrete structures is proposed. The results confirming the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm are presented; this iterative procedure allows to perform an optimal search on discrete sets of variable parameters, which is of considerable interest for the actual design of building structures.
