Metamodel-assisted optimization is a valuable alternative to handle structural design
optimization procedures, which are usually quite expensive and sometimes even prohibitive …

It is well known that conventional heuristic optimization is the most common approach to
deal with structural optimization problems. However, metamodel-assisted optimization has …

This paper implements the multi-criteria design optimization of three-dimensional reinforced
concrete frame building structures, considering aspects such as the realistic design of the …

This paper implements structural design optimization to improve the economic indexes of
