Abstract: Topology optimization has wide applications in the field of engineering as it derives the optimum material layout in a given design space with defined loads and boundary conditions. This article presents the topology optimization of structural concrete with different load cases using a bidirectional evolutionary structural optimization method (BESO). BESO method has several advantages over other optimization methods as it removes inefficient elements and adds efficient elements in each iteration. The methodology adopts the compliance minimization with volume constraint by utilizing the capabilities of ABAQUS finite element software. Strut and Tie model (STM) has been identified as an effective method in modeling discontinuity regions in reinforced concrete structures as it can find out the real load transfer mechanism in structures. With the aid of topology optimization, all the uncertainties related to STM can be avoided. © 2021, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
