Although Mathematical Programming initially the most-used technique, it has been replaced by other metaheuristic techniques. Among them, Genetic Algorithms is the most remarkable. This paper will cover a little description of each technique as well as the main reports and drawbacks. Finally, the most-used structure for benchmarking will be depicted, and the best reported results shown and commented. %K Genetic %K algorithm %K structural %K simultaneous %K optimization. %U http://www.3ciencias.com/articulos/articulo/nuevas-tecnicas-para-la-optimizacion-de-estructuras/
