Artar, Musa; Daloğlu, Ayşe T.
This study investigates optimum designs of steel space truss towers under seismic loading by using Jaya optimization algorithm. Turkish Earthquake Code (2007) specifications are applied on optimum designs of steel space truss towers under the seismic loading for different local site classes depending on different soil groups. The proposed novel algorithm does not have any algorithm-specific control parameters and depends only a simple revision equation. Therefore, it provides a practical solution for structural optimization problems. Optimum solutions of the different steel truss examples are carried out by selecting suitable W sections taken from American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC). In order to obtain optimum solutions, a computer program is coded in MATLAB in corporated with SAP2000-OAPI (Open Application Programming Interface). The stress and displacement constraints are applied on the design problems according to AISC-ASD (Allowable Stress Design) specifications. Firstly, a benchmark truss problem is examined to see the efficiency of Jaya optimization algorithm. Then, two different multi-element truss towers previously solved with other methods without seismic loading in literature are designed by the proposed algorithm. The first space tower is a 582-member space truss with the height of 80 m and the second space tower is a 942-member space truss of about 95 m height. The minimum optimum designs obtained with this novel algorithm for the case without seismic loading are lighter than the ones previously attained in the literature studies. The results obtained in the study show that Jaya algorithm is a practical and robust optimization method for structural optimization problems. Moreover, incorporation of the seismic loading causes significant increase in the minimum design weight.

Artar, Musa; Daloğlu, Ayşe T.
In this paper, an optimization process using MATLAB-SAP2000 Open Application Programming Interface (OAPI) is presented for optimum design of space frames with semi-rigid connections. A specified list including W-profiles taken from American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) is used in the selection of suitable sections. The stress constraints as indicated in load and resistance factor design of AISC, lateral displacement constraints being the top- and inter-storey drift and geometric constraints are considered in the optimization process. Genetic algorithm method based on biological principles and harmony search algorithm method based on the processes of musical harmony are used for optimum designs. Two different space frames are solved for the cases of rigid and semi-rigid connections, separately. A computer program is coded in MATLAB for the purpose interacting with SAP2000 OAPI. Results obtained from the analyses show that type of semi-rigid connections plays a crucial role in the optimization of steel space frames and increases the optimum weight.

Artar, Musa; Catar, Recep; Daloglu, Ayse T.
This study presents optimum design of plane steel bridges considering corrosion effect by using teaching-learning based optimization (TLBO) method. Optimum solutions of three different bridge problems are linearly carried out including and excluding corrosion effect. The member cross sections are selected from a pre-specified list of 128 W profiles taken from American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC). A computer program is coded in MATLAB to carry out optimum design interacting with SAP2000 using OAPI (Open Application Programming Interface). The stress constraints are incorporated as indicated in AISC Allowable Stress Design (ASD) specifications and also displacement constraints are applied in optimum design. The results obtained from analysis show that the corrosion effect on steel profile surfaces causes a crucial increase on the minimum steel weight of bridges. Moreover, the results show that the method proposed is applicable and robust to reach the destination even for complex problems.
