This review focuses on identifying the impacts and future development trends for current
structural design practice in integration of building information modelling (BIM) technologies …

Parameter estimation of photovoltaic (PV) models plays an important role in the simulation,
evaluation, and control of PV systems. In the past decade, although many meta-heuristic …

In this work, a new and effective algorithm called hybrid teaching–learning-based
optimization (TLBO) and charged system search (CSS) algorithms (HTC) are proposed to …

A very recently developed metaheuristic method called Jaya algorithm (JA) is implemented
in this study for sizing and layout optimization of truss structures. The main feature of JA is …

In this paper, we present a review on non-gradient optimization methods with applications to
structural engineering. Due to their versatility, there is a large use of heuristic methods of …

The challenge that structural optimization tasks pose by dint of their highly non-linear design
constraints and complex solution domains has spurred both the implementation and …

In this article, an improved grey wolf optimizer (IGWO) algorithm is developed for optimal
design of truss structures. Grey wolf optimizer (GWO) is a recently proposed algorithm for …

SUMMARY A new metaheuristic optimization algorithm is developed to solve truss
optimization problems. The new algorithm, called cuckoo search (CS), is examined by …

The purpose of this study is to develop an advanced neural network algorithm as a new
optimisation for the optimal design of truss structures. The central concept of the algorithm is …

Recent advances in structural technology require greater accuracy, efficiency and speed in
the analysis of structural systems. It is therefore not surprising that new methods have been …
