Geometric representations for conceptual design using evolutionary algorithms

Civil engineering design problems are typically approached using traditional techniques i.e. deterministic algorithms, rather than via stochastic search such as evolutionary algorithms. However evolutionary algorithms are adept at exploring fragmented and complex search spaces, such as those found i...
