The design improvement of large‐scale structures such as cable stayed and suspension bridges with large spans is one of the major engineering optimization problems faced by design engineers. In many real‐life engineering design problems, it is necessary to carry out large‐scale experimental physical models for only one prototype to construct the feasible solution set that is too expensive and not practical. For these reasons, an experimental search for optimal solutions is often not carried out at all. This paper presents a technique for multicriteria analysis, which involve the finite element analysis of the prototype in the optimization process. The improvement of the Suez Canal Bridge in Egypt is introduced as a real‐life large‐scale case study. The parameter space investigation method, the visual basic for application programming language, and Femap as finite element analysis software provide an implementation tools to construct the feasible and Pareto solution sets for the studied bridge. An efficient combination between the parameter space investigation method and the finite element programme was successfully investigated to obtain the Pareto solution set. This study shows possibility to apply the multicriteria optimization method for more applications on different large‐scale structural systems in the future. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…To address this problem, a method called parameter space investigation (PSI) has been created and widely integrated into various fields of industry, science, and technology (Sobol' and Statnikov, 2006;Stadler and Dauer, 1992;Statnikov and Matusov, 1995, 1996, 2002Statnikov et al, 2008). In this paper, we modify the PSI method to allow construction of the feasible solution set specifically for the problems of database search.…”

Abstract:The advent of the World Wide Web made search engines the most essential component of our everyday life. However, the analysis of information provided by current search engines often presents a significant challenge to the client. This is to a large extent because the client has to deal with many alternatives (solutions) described by contradictory criteria, when selecting the most preferable (optimal) solutions. Furthermore, criteria constraints cannot be defined a priori and have to be defined interactively in the process of a dialog of the client with computer. In such situations, construction of the feasible solution set has a fundamental value. In this paper, we propose a new methodology for systematically constructing the feasible solution set for database search. This allows to significantly improving the quality of search results. 2 R.
