Abstract
This work presents the Two-phase method for fuzzy
optimization of structures. In the first phase the fuzzy
solution is obtained by using the Level Cuts Method and in
the second phase the crisp solution, which maximizes the
membership function of fuzzy decision-making, is found by
using the Bound Search Method. Illustrative numerical
examples involving skeletal structures and reinforced
concrete slabs are solved.
