Abstract: | The present paper describes the implementation of an experimental technique that allows one to optimise the efficiency of layout design for ropes, tendons, etc in prestressed structures. An application with a certain grade of complexity has been developed, i.e. a stiffening partition wall in hollow sections, with a central opening. This structural typology is normally used in bridges. |
