A comparative approach for the optimal design of steel structures using biogeography-based optimization (BBO) algorithm and genetic algorithm (GA) by Laid Amamra, Mohamed Bensoula, Sadek Bahar

“… Structural optimization is one of the key concerns of civil engineering designers, but from a mathematical point of view, this optimization problem is highly complex and complicated due to a large number of non-linear design constraints and the iterative procedure of structural analysis. Introducing optimization algorithms such as biogeography-Based Optimization (BBO) and genetic algorithms (GA) into applications can help the user to optimize the cost of the structure to be adopted more quickly and with fewer errors in the preliminary phase of the design study. …”
