The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the optimization capability of recently developed optimality criteria methods (COC, DCOC) by solving layout problems for beam systems (grillages) involving many thousand potential members. Although the method presented can include all practical design constraints, its validity and accuracy is also verified by comparing the numerical output with closed form analytical solutions for some layout problems.
