Type JournalPaper
Keywords Reliability-based design optimization; (RBDO)enhanced vibrating particle system (EVPS); steel frame design; Monte Carlo simulation; metaheuristic algorithms
Abstract This paper evaluates Enhanced Vibrating Particle System (EVPS) and Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) algorithms for Reliability-based Design Optimization (RBDO) of steel frames. The two-loop RBDO method minimizes frame weight while satisfying strength, drift, and reliability constraints, considering uncertainties in material properties and loads. Both EVPS and GWO effectively reduce structure weight and ensure required reliability levels, demonstrating their applicability in sustainable steel frame design.
