Resumo:
The search for the optimum design, with the minimum possible material consumption and satisfying, at the same time, safety and in service conditions and also the constructive aspects, must be a central preoccupation of all engineers.Therefore the optimization of structures is such an important engineering area, which studies tools for helping the engineering to obtain the optimum design. The objective of this work is to present on methodology for the determination of the optimum design of prestressed cable, considering both the ultimate limit state and the in service limit state.The solution of the problem is obtained through optimization techniques, normally,the Han-Powell algorithm is applied for solving the non-linear programming problem.The design variables are the prestressed force and the parameters, which define the geometry of the cable and the deformation of the beam in given sections.The proposed optimization problem is to minimize the prestressed force in beams while constraining the geometry of the cable and the stresses during in service loads and satisfying safety in the ultimate limit state in prescribed sections. A computer program, based on the formulation, was developed which allowed the user to obtain the optimum design of the cable and the correspondent minimum prestressed force, after immediate losses which are considered constant along the beam length.
