Abstract
In this paper, an optimal direct design method of steel frame using advanced analysis and genetic algorithm is presented. The advanced analysis realistically assesses both strength and behavior of a structural system and its component members in a direct manner. The micro-GA is used for minimum weight optimization of steel frames. Constraint functions are load-carrying capacities and serviceability. The optimum designs determined by the proposed method are lighter than those given by other approaches.
