Abstract

The optimization can be defined as a solution of problem under specific
conditions to achieve a specific purpose. Optimization strategies commonly used
for solving of various problems and have gained great importance in recent
years especially in engineering. 
Evolving optimization methods over the years has many varieties such as
shape optimization, topology optimization, size optimization etc. The latest
trend of optimization methods is metaheuristics which are more useful with easy
applicable to complex problems regarding to traditional optimization methods.
So that metaheuristics have supplanted the traditional methods particularly in
engineering by the time. In this study, a planar steel frame which is designed
according to the requirements comprised by AISC-LRFD (American Institute of
Steel Construction-Load and Resistance Factor Design) has been optimized by aid
of biogeography-based optimization (BBO) algorithm.
