Carbas, Serdar; Artar, Musa
In this paper, an unbiased comparative assessment scheme for algorithmic performances of five novel nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithms in design optimization of steel frames made out of cold-formed steel sections under consideration of seismic loading is presented. These contemporary algorithms are so-called tree seed, squirrel search, water strider, grey wolf, and brain storm optimization. The functionality of the proposed algorithms is appraised with respect to design precisions in both portal and space cold-formed steel frames formulated according to the design provisions implemented by AISI-LRFD (American Iron and Steel Institute-Load and Resistance Factor Design). The cross-sectional dimensions of steel profiles, which are selected from available set of cold-formed thin-walled single-C sections, are treated as design variables in the optimization process in order to minimize the structural weight of the frames. In addition to specification constraint requirements, lateral and vertical displacement restrictions of the structural elements required for stability of the frames are also taken into account. Design optimization algorithms necessitate the structural response of cold-formed steel frames under load combinations including seismic loading effects which is accomplished by utilizing the open application programming interface (OAPI) mastery of MATLAB with SAP2000. The design optimization of cold-formed steel frames that is a discrete nonlinear programming problem reveal the robustness and applicability of proposed contemporary nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithms in real-sized complex structural optimization problems.

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.
