SUMMARY:

 The design of civil construction structures is commonly associated to three general steps:
structural conception, sizing, and analysis and verication. It is an approach highly dependent
on the experience and creativity of the designer, and is tied to an trial and error
strategy. This work aims to formulate and to implement computational models based
on topology optimization to assist on the denition of initial structural conception of
cable-based structures. The mathematical formulation proposed in this work incorporates
multiple load cases, nodal cost and a constitutive model of cables with limit resistance.
The results show that topology optimization tools can be used to suggest initial structural
conception, assisted by a mathematical method, and with the potential of break the pattern
of traditional topologies, unlocking designer's creativity. However, structural systems based
solely on cables are rare, and therefore for the features presented in this work to have a
direct application in industry, there is still the need to evolve the formulation presented
here, also incorporating elements resistant to compression actions.
