Abstract

Harmony search-based algorithm is developed to determine the minimum cost design of steel frames with semi-rigid connections and column bases under displacement, strength and size constraints. Harmony search (HS) is recently developed metaheuristic search algorithm which is based on the analogy between the performance process of natural music and searching for solutions of optimum design problems. The geometric non-linearity of the frame members, the semi-rigid behaviour of the beam-to-column connections and column bases are taken into account in the design algorithm. The results obtained by semi-rigid connection and column base modelling are also compared to one developed by rigid connection modelling. The efficiency of HS algorithm, in comparison with genetic algorithms (GAs), is verified with three benchmark examples. The results indicate that HS could obtain lighter frames and less cost values than those developed using GAs.
