Optimal seismic design of steel structures by an efficient soft computing based algorithm

Assessment of load carrying capacity of castellated steel beams by neural networks

“…From this figure a wide range of models have a good consistency with Eq. (11). It can be observed that the error of Eq.…”

“…They operate as black box, model-free, and adaptive tools to capture and learn significant structures in data. Their computing abilities have been proven in the fields of prediction and estimation, pattern recognition, and optimization [8][9][10][11]. They are suitable particularly for problems too complex to be modeled and solved by classical mathematics and traditional procedures.…”

Design optimization of tall steel buildings by a modified particle swarm algorithm

“…As a summary, Li et al . () and Gholizadeh and Salajegheh () have hybridized PSO by other meta‐heuristics, while Seyedpoor et al . () and Plevris and Papadrakakis () have combined PSO by gradient‐based algorithms.…”

Progressive collapse design of seismic steel frames using structural optimization

“…In contrast, heuristic search algorithms are particularly effective for solving practical steel design optimization problems. These algorithms include simulated annealing [5], genetic algorithm (GA) [6], tabu search [7], particle swarm optimization [8], and ant colony optimization [9].…”
