KAFES SİSTEMLERİN UYGULAMAYA YÖNELİK OPTİMUM TASARIMI

In this study, a simple genetic algorithm for optimising structural systems with discrete design variables are used for the optimum design of plane trusses. Displacement, stress and stability constraints are considered. A computer programme is developed and coded in FORTRAN language for the purpose. Algorithm presented is used to obtain the optimum designs of the different practically employed roof trusses. Finally an optimum geometry design is performed to find out the optimum roof slope by trial and error.
