The analysis present here provides formulating optimization conditions, the solution of which provides optimum variation of the initial deflection along the beam‐column eliminating internal bending moment or guaranteeing a prescribed allowable resultant deflection. Thus, a decrease in material consumption or possible increase in loading capacity may be achieved. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
