Abstract

An original integrated system for the optimum design of reticular and modular structures is presented. The main idea of the proposed design procedure is that it should be suitable for industrial purposes and it is conceived as a useful tool for technical offices of companies involved in developing projects in which a series of similar structures, such as electrical transmission towers, are to be designed. Thus, in order to consider the modularity of the structures, each one is treated as i
