Optimum design of steel frames using stochastic search techniques based on natural phenomena: A review
Saka, M. P. (2007-09-21)
Recent developments in optimization techniques that deal with finding the solution of combinatorial optimization problems has provided steel designers with new capabilities. These new optimization techniques use nature as a source of inspiration to develop new procedures for solving complex engineering problems. Among these, evolutionary algorithms mimic evolutionary biology and make use of the principle of the survival of the fittest to establish a numerical search algorithm. In the immune system algorithm...
Optimum design of double-layer grid systems: comparison with current design practice using real-life industrial applications
Aydıncılar, Yılmaz; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
Double-layer grid systems are three-dimensional pin-jointed structures, which are generally used for covering roofs having large spans. In this study, evolution strategies method is used to optimize space trusses. Evolution strategies method is a type of evolutionary algorithms, which simulate biological evolution and natural selection phenomenon to find the best solution for an optimization problem. In this method, an initial population is formed by various solutions of design problem. Then this initial po...
Optimum design of slurry pipelines by genetic algorithm
Yildiz, Burhan; Altan Sakarya, Ayşe Burcu; Ger, A. Metin (2014-10-02)
Various applications of slurry transportation through pipelines exist. A transportation problem is formulated to determine the pipe diameters and amounts of transported slurry from the production to the consumption points. The minimisation of the cost consisting of the pipe and energy cost terms is considered as the objective function. Pipe cost is given as the function of pipe diameters and the energy cost is defined as the function of pipe diameters and slurry amounts. Energy cost is obtained by using the...
Optimum Detailed Design of Reinforced Concrete Continuous Beams using the Harmony Search Algorithm
Akin, A.; Saka, M. P. (2010-09-17)
Design optimization of reinforced concrete structures is more challenging than that of steel structures due to the complexity associated with reinforcement design. In this study, optimum design algorithm is presented for reinforced concrete continuous beams. The design variables are selected as the width and the depth of beams in each span, the diameter and the number of longitudinal reinforcement bars along span and supports, and the diameter of ties. The design constraints are implemented from ACI 318-05 ...
