Load Path Design

Load Path Design is a structural design methodology in form-finding that determines and optimizes the continuous, mechanically admissible paths by which applied loads are transmitted through a structure to its supports, thereby shaping its geometry and member layout to ensure efficient force flow, robustness, and redundancy.
