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

“…The aim of this research is to carry out a comparative approach to structure weight minimization using biogeography-Based Optimization (BBO) algorithm and genetic algorithms (GA), examining the influence of the number of populations and the number of iterations in the final results. In this study, both algorithms gave reliable results, but a comparison of the results obtained by the two methods reveals that the biogeography-Based Optimization algorithm (BBO) can be successfully used for the optimization of steel structures while ensuring verification of the strength, serviceability and stability criteria defined by Eurocode 3 (Union, 2006), as it has certain advantages in detecting the global minimum over genetic algorithms (GA). …”
