A good strategy to test a software component involves the generation of the whole
set of cases that participate in its operation. While testing only individual values
may not be enough, exhaustive testing of all possible ...

Esta presentación muestra por qué es necesario optimizar el diseño de la estructura de los edificios y cómo puede plantearse de forma general un problema de optimización.
[EN] This paper represents new approaches for calculating, designing, and optimizing prestressed arched trusses with a tie member. Structural systems with long spans, such as trusses, beams, frames, etc., are subjected to ...
[EN] This paper aims at the automatic design and cost minimization of reinforced concrete vaults used in road
construction. This paper presents three heuristic optimization methods: the multi-start global best descent ...
Linkages have been widely used in machines and deployable structures, but these mechanisms have rarely been employed in the design of movable bridges. This paper explores the use of linkages both to actuate the kinematic ...
This paper describes one approach to the design of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge piers, using a three-hybrid multiobjective simulated annealing (SA) algorithm with a neighborhood move based on the mutation operator from ...
A covering array (CA) is a combinatorial structure specified as a matrix of N rows and k columns over an alphabet on v symbols such that for each set of t columns every t-tuple of symbols is covered at least once. Given ...
[EN] This paper deals with the optimized design of two characteristic three-span road flyovers. The first characteristic sample structure is the deck of a 20-36-20 m flyover, which is typical of flyovers over double-lane ...
