Abstract: Duality now plays an important role in the theory of optimum structures but has not been given adequate detailed consideration within this context. The paper makes a limited attempt to satisfy this requirement through a generalization of the associated duality theory by formulating the structural optimization as a fractional program. This provides some new forms for the dual objective function and crystalizes some of the intrinsic problems associated with dual structural programs.
