Three-parameter elastic foundation model is used to incorporate soil-structure interaction. A computer program is developed in MATLAB interacting with SAP2000-OAPI for two way data flow in all optimization procedures. Optimum design of space frames is formulated according to LRFD-AISC (Load and Resistance Factor Design, American Institute of Steel Construction) specifications. The parameters of foundation model are obtained by using soil surface displacements. It is concluded that consideration of soil-structure interaction ends up with heavier frames, and method is applicable for practical purposes. © 2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessGenetic Algorithm (GA)Harmony Search Algorithm (HS)LRFD-AISC specificationsOpen Application Programming Interface (OAPI)Steel space framesThree-parameters elastic foundation modelApplication programming interfaces (API)Genetic algorithmsHydraulic structuresMATLABSoilsSpecificationsStructural framesAmerican institute of steel constructionsElastic foundation modelHarmony search algorithmsLoad and resistance factor designsMeta heuristic algorithmOpen application programming interfaceOptimization proceduresSteel space frameSoil structure interactionsGenetic Algorithm (GA)Harmony Search Algorithm (HS)LRFD-AISC specificationsOpen Application Programming Interface (OAPI)Steel space framesThree-parameters elastic foundation modelApplication programming interfaces (API)Genetic algorithmsHydraulic structuresMATLABSoilsSpecificationsStructural framesAmerican institute of steel constructionsElastic foundation modelHarmony search algorithmsLoad and resistance factor designsMeta heuristic algorithmOpen application programming interfaceOptimization proceduresSteel space frameSoil structure interactionsOptimum design of steel space frames including soil-structure interactionArticle54111713110.1007/s00158-016-1401-x2-s2.0-84955291647Q1WOS:000377460100009Q1
