Discrete Optimum Design of Steel Frames by Genetic Algorithm

This paper presents genetic based algorithm for the optimum design of multistorey steel frames with sidesway subjected to multiple loading cases. The design method obtains a frame with the least weight by selecting appropriate sections for beams and columns from the British standard for universal be...
