Cost optimization of composite beams using genetic algorithms
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2009 , Article)
This paper presents a genetic algorithm model for the cost optimization of composite beams based on the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) specifications of the AISC. The model formulation includes the cost of concrete, ...
Genetic algorithm-based multi-objective model for scheduling of linear construction projects
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2007 , Article)
This paper presents a genetic algorithm-based multi-objective optimization model for the scheduling of linear construction projects. The model allows construction planners to generate and evaluate optimal/near-optimal ...
Modeling and optimization of biogas production from a waste digester using artificial neural network and genetic algorithm
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic algorithms (GA) are considered among the latest tools that are used to solve complicated problems that cannot be solved by conventional solutions. The present study utilizes ...
