The authors use a set of definite algorithms for the optimization of all types of structures. They also add a new enhanced version of VPS and information about configuration processes to all chapters. Domes are of special interest to engineers as they enclose a maximum amount of space with a minimum surface and have proven to be very economical in terms of consumption of constructional materials. Antennas and transmission line towers are the one of the most popular structure since these steel lattice towers are inexpensive, strong, light and wind resistant. Architects and engineers choose barrel vaults as viable and often highly suitable forms for covering not only low-cost industrial buildings, warehouses, large-span hangars, indoor sports stadiums, but also large cultural and leisure centers. Steel buildings are preferred in residential as well as commercial buildings due to their high strength and ductility particularly in regions which are prone to earthquakes. 606 $aApplied mathematics 606 $aEngineering mathematics 606 $aMathematical optimization 606 $aMechanical engineering 606 $aBuilding construction 606 $aMathematical and Computational Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11006 606 $aOptimization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M26008 606 $aMechanical Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17004 606 $aSolid Construction$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23090 615 0$aApplied mathematics. 615 0$aEngineering mathematics. 615 0$aMathematical optimization. 615 0$aMechanical engineering. 615 0$aBuilding construction. 615 14$aMathematical and Computational Engineering. 615 24$aOptimization. 615 24$aMechanical Engineering. 615 24$aSolid Construction. 676 $a624.17713 700 $aKaveh$b Ali$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0864693 702 $aIlchi Ghazaan$b Majid$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299937703321 996 $aMeta-heuristic Algorithms for Optimal Design of Real-Size Structures$92530023 997 $aUNINA
