Design optimisation of steel portal frames using modified distributed genetic algorithms

Distributed genetic algorithms have been modified in this study to improve their quality, performance, and convergence to the optimum solution for structural steel frames. This was achieved by introducing some novelties of the main algorithm of distributed genetic algorithms and applying them in str...
