Özet
This paper is concerned with the use of genetic algorithms (GAs) in size optimum design of planar and space structures made of I-D elements. GAs have proved to be very promising and solid search and optimization techniques. They are particularly very suitable in discrete structural optimization problems. The fundamental points of integrating a GA with structural optimization are discussed. This is followed by a brief explanation of computer implementation and illustrative examples.
