Stress Path Search Model of Evolutionary Structural Successive Optimization (SPSMESO) using Triangular Irregular Network(TIN) was developed for improving over burden at initial design of ESO and strict stress direction of strut-and-tie model and truss model. TIN was applied for discretizing structures in flexible stress path and segments of TIN was analyzed as one-dimensional line element for calculating stress. Finally, stress path was searched using ESO algorithm. SPSMESO was efficient to express the direction of stress for 2D structure and time saving.
