Minimum cost design of RC beams using DCOC Part II: Beams with uniform cross-sections

The optimality criteria and numerical algorithms for DCOC are specialized in this part of the two-part paper to multispan structures each span of which is assumed to have a uniform section along its entire length. The steel ratio is allowed to vary freely along the length. Selfweight of the spans is also included in the equilibrium equation of the real system and in the optimality criteria.
