ABSTRACT: The paper is devoted to the formulation of an optimal design (minimum volume) problem of
elasticperfectlyplastic structures subjectedto suitablecombinationsof static(fixed)anddynamic (seismic)loads.
Thestructure is constrained toexhibita shakedown behaviour in serviceability conditions ...
