Abstract

The aim of this Authors’ Reply is to examine critically certain assertions by Logo in a Discussion and in two conference papers about a publication by Rozvany and Maute on a reliability based benchmark example

previous article On the optimal layout of structures subjected to probabilistic or multiply loading

next article Erratum to: Critical examination of recent assertions by Logo (2013) about the paper ‘Analytical and numerical solutions for a reliability based benchmark example’ (Rozvany and Maute 2011)

The only parameter to be optimized is the ratio of cross-sectional areas of the vertical bar and that of the two sloping bars (symmetric problem). Then the compliance constraint can be satisfied as equality by linear scaling.
