Adaptive dimensional search (ADS) algorithm is a recently proposed metaheuristic optimization technique for discrete structural optimization problems. In this study, discrete sizing optimization problem of steel frames is tackled using the ADS algorithm. An important feature of the algorithm is that it does not use any metaphor as an underlying principle for its implementation. Instead, the algorithm employs an efficient performance-oriented methodology at each iteration for convergence to the optimum or a near optimum solution. The performance of the ADS is investigated through optimum design of five real-size steel frame structures and the results are compared versus several contemporary metaheuristic techniques. The comparison of the obtained numerical results with those of available designs in the literature reveals the reliability and efficiency of the ADS in optimum design of steel frames.

Optimal load and resistance factor design of geometrically nonlinear steel space frames via tabu search and genetic algorithm DEĞERTEKİN, SADIK ÖZGÜR; Saka, M. P.; HAYALİOĞLU, MEHMET SEDAT (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-01) In this paper, algorithms are presented for the optimum design of geometrically nonlinear steel space frames using tabu search and genetic algorithm. Tabu search utilizes the features of short-term memory facility (tabu list) and aspiration criteria. Genetic algorithm employs reproduction, crossover and mutation operators. The design algorithms obtain minimum weight frames by selecting suitable sections from a standard set of steel sections such as American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) wide-flange...
Linear static analysis of large structural models on pc clusters Özmen, Semih; Toker, Kurç; Department of Civil Engineering (2009) This research focuses on implementing and improving a parallel solution framework for the linear static analysis of large structural models on PC clusters. The framework consists of two separate programs where the first one is responsible from preparing data for the parallel solution that involves partitioning, workload balancing, and equation numbering. The second program is a fully parallel nite element program that utilizes substructure based solution approach with direct solvers. The first step of data...
Parametric study on the effect of structural and geotechnical properties on the seismic performance of integral bridges Erhan, Semih; Dicleli, Murat (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-10-01) In this paper practical techniques are introduced for detailed modeling of soil-pile and soil-abutment interaction effects for integral bridges (IBs). Furthermore, a parametric study is conducted to determine appropriate structural configurations and geotechnical properties to enhance the seismic performance of IBs. For this purpose, numerous nonlinear structural models of a two-span IB including dynamic soil-bridge interaction effects are built. Nonlinear time history analyses (NTHA) of the IB models are t...
Empirical ground-motion models for point- and extended-source crustal earthquake scenarios in Europe and the Middle East Akkar, S.; Sandikkaya, M. A.; Bommer, J. J. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-02-01) This article presents the latest generation of ground-motion models for the prediction of elastic response (pseudo-) spectral accelerations, as well as peak ground acceleration and velocity, derived using pan-European databases. The models present a number of novelties with respect to previous generations of models (Ambraseys et al. in Earthq Eng Struct Dyn 25:371-400, 1996, Bull Earthq Eng 3:1-53, 2005; Bommer et al. in Bull Earthq Eng 1:171-203, 2003; Akkar and Bommer in Seismol Res Lett 81:195-206, 2010)...
Guided stochastic search technique for discrete sizing optimization of steel trusses: A design-driven heuristic approach Azad, S. Kazemzadeh; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Saka, M. P. (Elsevier BV, 2014-04-01) This study presents a design-driven heuristic approach named guided stochastic search (GSS) technique for discrete sizing optimization of steel trusses. The method works on the basis of guiding the optimization process using the well-known principle of virtual work as well as the information collected during the structural analysis and design stages. The performance of the proposed technique is investigated through a benchmark truss instance as well as four real-size trusses sized for minimum weight accordi...
