This
paper presents optimum designs of industrial structures comprised of truss roof
members and frame members including corrosion effect on steel cross-sections by
using harmony search algorithm method. A profile list taken from AISC (American
Institute of Steel Construction) is used in optimization. The stress and
displacement constraints according to AISC-ASD (Allowable Stress Design) are
applied in the optimum design process. A program was coded in MATLAB for
incorporating with SAP2000-OAPI (Open Application Programming Interface).
Harmony search algorithm method, one of the last stochastic techniques, is
selected for optimum solution. In this study, optimum designs of the plane
structures are studied for the cases with and without corrosion effects.
