Optimization algorithms are becoming more prevalent in geotechnical engineering, particularly for tackling challenges involving nonlinearity, uncertainty, and intricate soil–structure interactions. Despite this, most current review studies are primarily descriptive and do not provide a systematic, criteria-driven compa...
Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) is inherently complex and computationally intensive. This study aims to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of RBDO by integrating advanced probabilistic and optimization techniques. The proposed framework incorporates improved combination line sampling (iCLS), approximate B...
This work presents the development and implementation of a second-order optimization algorithm based on a relaxed Newton method for the minimization of nonlinear scalar objective functions with multiple design variables. The proposed strategy combines a modified Newton scheme with a customized backtracking formulation,...
This paper reviews advances over the last decade in the field of computational structural reliability modelling. The discussion is focused on problems of time-variant/time-invariant reliability at the component level. Three broad classes of problems are considered: (a) time-invariant reliability problems involving stat...
The primary contributions and objectives of this article are to propose an enhanced proportional topology optimization algorithm with strong global optimization capability and high computational efficiency, as well as a novel reliability-based topology optimization method that is capable of decreasing sensitivity analy...
