Abstract. We present he problem of remodeling a given structure such as to improve structural performance optimally within a specified available resource. The development pertains to all types of problems where the mode of structural response is governed by an extremum principle. A variational formulation is used, and the idea is illustrated for maximum-stiffness remodeling of single-purpose structures. Key Words. Optimal remodeling, structural optimization, calculus of variations, optimality conditions, tructural mechanics. 1
