Cost optimization of structures : fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, and parallel computing / Hojjat Adeli, Kamal C. Sarma. - 1 online resource (xvii, 203 pages) : illustrations

Includes bibliographical references (pages 185-199) and index.

Evolutionary computing and the genetic algorithm -- Cost optimization of composite floors -- Fuzzy genetic algorithm for optimization of steel structures -- Fuzzy discrete multi-criteria cost optimization of steel structures -- Parallel computing -- Parallel fuzzy genetic algorithms for cost optimization of large steel structures -- Life-cycle cost optimization of steel structures.

While the weight of a structure constitutes a significant part of the cost, a minimum weight design is not necessarily the minimum cost design. Little attention in structural optimization has been paid to the cost optimization problem, particularly of realistic three-dimensional structures.
