The simplest structural systems in hybrid construction are frame systems with moment or hinged connections. In multi-story constructions, there exists a relatively large number of possible configurations theoretically. Optimization methods should determine a distribution of mass, stiffness, and moments of inertia that optimally transfers loads and fulfils construction framework conditions (acoustics, fire protection, cost, lifespan, etc.). The aim of this work is to develop optimization methods that link the static and dynamic analysis of the structural system with factors like acoustics, fire safety, and costs, so that an optimal distribution of materials (reinforced concrete, steel, wood) becomes economically achievable.
