Design optimization of 3D steel structures: Genetic algorithms vs. classical techniques
TL;DR: In this paper, an elitist genetic algorithm (GA) developed by the authors is compared with common commercial solutions for complex structural optimization, and the cost and weight improvements obtained using the GA, although at a higher computational cost, are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A modified elitist genetic algorithm applied to the design optimization of complex steel structures
TL;DR: In this paper, an elitist genetic algorithm is applied to steel structures to obtain structural elements with minimum weight and satisfy the safety factors or coefficients (ultimate limit states) of the applicable building code.
