A review of optimization techniques used in the design of fibre composite structures for civil engineering applications

► We reviewed existing optimization techniques of fibre composite structures. ► Proposed an improved methodology for design optimization. ► Comparison showed the MRDO is most suitable. Fibre composite structures have become the most attractive candidate for civil engineering applications. Fibre rein...
