Artar, MusaÇatar, RecepDaloğlu, Ayşe T.2026-02-282026-02-2820171308-7223https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12403/8018This 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.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.
