A recording of the IStructE evening lecture “Doing more with less: layout optimisation of structures“, delivered on 20/11/19 by BUILD-OPT researchers Matthew Gilbert and Paul Shepherd, has now been made available on the IStructE YouTube site.
In the lecture several key findings from the BUILD-OPT are presented.
