PrestressOpti
PrestressOpti is a modular Python framework for the automatic optimization of prestressing tendon paths in prestressed concrete bridge decks using genetic algorithms. The implementation models construction stages, time-dependent effects, and all prestress force losses required by Eurocode standards, with the primary objective of finding the most efficient tendon layouts and the minimum required prestressing force.
