Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Multi-material/component truss topology optimization to minimize embodied carbon. • Mixed-integer linear formulation explicitly controls structural design properties. • Constructability constraints for min/max member sizing and node complexity. • Design framework demonstrated on timber-steel 2D, 3D, and tensegrity structures. • The embodied carbon-constructability interplay means solutions cannot be predicted.
