a real function within a domain which contains the acceptable values of variables while some restrictions are to be satisfied.There might be the large amount of set of variables in the domain that maximizes or mini-mizes the real function while satisfying the described restrictions.They are called as the acceptable solutions and the solution which is the best among them that satisfy constrains are obtained as the optimum solution of the problem.Analogously the definition given above,the aim of the optimum structural design methods is to minimize the size of the structural elements considering their load carrying capacity in order to re-duce the total cost by reducing the material necessary for construc-tion.The methods taking discrete design variables and seeking for the global optimum under the constraints that change depending on type of the problems have drawn a lot of attention among the researchers and the engineers in practice.Among the optimization methods developed and used in the structural optimization,the recent novel and innovative stochastic search techniques emerged use nature as a source of inspiration to establish a numerical search algorithm for solving complex engi-neering problems and they do not suffer the discrepancies of math-ematical programming based optimum design methods [1].The basic idea behind these techniques is to simulate the natural phe-nomena such as survival of the fittest,the cooling process of mol-ten metals through annealing,the social interaction of ant colonies,swarm intelligence,the musical performance process,the process of food foraging of honey bees,etc.into a numerical algorithm [2–7].These methods are very suitable and effective in finding the solution of discrete structural optimization problems [8–20].On the other hand,the emergence of new computational tech-niques that are based on the simulation of paradigms found in nat-ure has still continued due to its ability of solving different optimization problems.Rao et al.[21]developed a new optimization method,the so-called Teaching–Learning Based Optimization (TLBO),as an inno-vative optimization algorithm inspiring the natural phenomena,which mimics teaching–learning process in a class between the teacher and the students (learners)and they applied the TLBO for solving the mechanical design optimization problems taken from the literature.In their model,the ‘‘Teaching Phase’’produces a ran-dom ordered state of points called learners within the search space.Then a point is considered as the teacher,who is highly learned person and shares his or her knowledge with the learners,and others learn significant group information from the teacher.However,during the ‘‘Learning Phase’’the learners learn by inter-action between each other.After a number of sequential Teaching–Learning cycles,where the teacher convey knowledge among the learners and those level increases toward his or her own level,the distribution of the randomness within the search space be-comes smaller and smaller about to point considering as teacher.0141-0296/$-see front matter Ó2011Elsevier Ltd.All rights

solution.This paper presents a design procedure employing a Teaching–Learning Based Optimization(TLBO)technique for discrete optimization of planar steel frames.The total weight of the frame structures subjected to constraints in the form of strength and displacement requirements imposed by the American Institute for Steel Construction(AISC)Load and Resistance Factor Design(LRFD)[22]is considered as the objective function.Several frame examples from the literature are examined to verify the suit-ability of the design procedure and to demonstrate the effective-ness and robustness of the TLBO creating of an optimal design for frame structures.2.Formulation of the optimum design problemThe design of steel frames requires the selection of steel sec-tions for its columns and beams from a standard steel section ta-bles such that the frame obeys the serviceability and strength requirements specified by the code of practice while the economy is observed in the overall or material cost of the frame[1].This turns out to be discrete optimum design problem which has the following mathematical form:find X¼½A1;A2;...;A ngminimize WðXÞ¼X ngi¼1A iX mnj¼1qiL isubjected to c rk60k¼1;...;ncc dr60r¼1;...;ns16A i6ms i¼1;...;ngð1Þwhere X is the design variables vector taken as the cross-section area of the each member group;ng is the total numbers of groups in the frame;W(X)is the weight of the frame;mn is the total num-ber of members in group i;q j and L j are density and length of mem-ber j,respectively;A i is cross-sectional area of member group i.Theinequalities c rk 60and c dr60represents the strength and displace-ment requirements imposed by the AISC-LRFD specification[22];ns and nc are the number of stories and the number of beam columns, respectively.Since A i is selected W-shaped sections from a standard set of steel sections given by the AISC-LRFD specification[22]ms shows the total number of W-shaped sections considered in the de-sign for group i.The strength constraints,c rk60,for members subjected to axial force and bending are expressed according to AISC-LRFD[22]as follows:c r k ¼P unþ8M uxb nxþM uyb nyÀ1if P unP0:2P u2/P nþM ux/b M nxþM uy/b M nyÀ1if P u/P n<0:28><>:ð2Þin which P u is the required axial strength(compression or tension); P n is the nominal axial strength(compression or tension);M ux and M uy are the requiredflexural strengths about the major and the minor axes,respectively;M nx is the nominalflexural strength about the major axis;M ny is the nominalflexural strength about the minor axis(for two-dimensional frames,M uy=0);/is the resistance factor shown as/c and/t for compression(equal to0.85)and tension (equal to0.90),respectively;/b is theflexural resistance factor, which is equal to0.90.The displacement constraints,c dr60,representing the inter-storey drift of the multi-storey frame are stated in the following equation:c d r ¼dÃd ruÀ1where düðd rÀd rÀ1Þð3Þin Eq.(3)d r and d rÀ1are lateral deflection of two adjacent storey le-vel;d ru is the allowable lateral displacement(equal to h r/300,whereh r is the storey height).The constrained optimization problem defined through Eqs.(1)–(3)is converted to the unconstrained one via penalty functionbased on the measurement of constraints violation.The uncon-strained objective function f(X)is then written as:fðXÞ¼WðXÞð1þCÞeð4Þwhere C is the value of total constraints violation and e is the posi-tive penalty exponent.The total constraints violation C is a functionof the summation of the stress and deflection constraints definedas:C¼X nck¼1c rþX nsr¼1c dð5Þwhere c r¼maxðc rk;0Þand c d¼maxðc dr;0Þ.The value of the penalty function exponent,given in Eq.(4),istaken as2[23].3.Teaching–Learning Based OptimizationThe TLBO mimics the teaching–learning process in a class be-tween the teacher and the learners(students).Teacher desires toreach best harmony on the out put of learners in a class,whichcan be obtained through their grades considered as the output.Output is evaluated by means of exam taken by the teacher.Sincethe teacher is generally considered as a highly learned person whoshares his or her knowledge with the learners,the quality of a tea-cher affects the outcome of the learners.It is obvious that a goodteacher trains learners such that they can have better results interms of their marks or grades[21].The TLBO will be explained in the following,similar to the workby Rao et al.[21].Fig.1shows the distribution of grades obtainedby the students taught by two distinct teachers into two differentclasses.A normal distribution is assumed for the obtained gradesafter taking an exam by the teachers.It is clearly seen from Fig.1that the teacher who teaches thestudents in the class2is better than the teacher in the class1sincethe mean of the grades,M2,obtained by the students in the class2represents better results than M1.Therefore it can be stated that agood teacher produces a better mean for the results of the stu-dents.Students also learn from interaction between themselves,which also helps in their results.However,in practice a teachercan only move the mean of a class up to some extent dependingon the capability of the class.This follows a random processdepending on many factors[21].Consequently,since a teacher,who is the most experienced per-son on a subject in the society,influences the student’s behavior toattain some pre-determined goal it is expected that the teacher226V.Tog˘an/Engineering Structures34(2012)225–232increases the knowledge level of the whole class depending on his or her skill.The teacher,therefore,will put maximum effort into teaching his or her students,but students will gain knowledge according to the quality of teaching delivered by a teacher and the quality of students present in the class[21].In addition,the students can also gain knowledge by discussing,communicating, discovering and interacting with the world defined by the teacher.An analogy between the teaching–learning process and the optimum design of steel frames can be established in the following way:a class and a student in that class represent the population and the candidate solution.Each subject taught to the students represent the design variable(steel section no)and the combina-tion of it denotes the design variables(steel sections)of objective function.The candidate solution composes of design variables and is qualified according to itsfitness.The solution having bestfit-ness in the population is determined as the teacher.The entire pro-cess is continued until reaching the termination criteria as well as other nature-inspired methods.4.Optimum design using TLBOBased on the above teaching–learning process,a mathematical model of a novel optimization technique called Teaching–Learning-Based Optimization(TLBO)was developed by Rao et al.[21].It consists of two phases:a Teaching Phase,where candidate solutions are randomly distributed over the search space and the best solution is determined among those then it shares the infor-mation with others;and a Learning Phase,where the solutions put effort into passing the own information through the interaction to each other.The optimum design algorithm using TLBO in the current work is explained with stepwise manner as follows.4.1.Initialize the parameters to control TLBOThe number of students(population size)and stopping criteria (maximum number of iteration)are designated in this step,only.4.2.Initialize a classAs stated above,class represents the population,which com-poses of students.The class isfilled with randomly generated stu-dents(solutions)according to the population size,np,and number of design variables,nd.class¼pop¼x11x12 (x1)ndÀ1x1ndx21x22 (x2)ndÀ1x2nd...............x npÀ11x npÀ12...x npÀ1ndÀ1x npÀ1ndx np1x np2...x npndÀ1x npnd266666664377777775!!!!!fðX1ÞfðX2Þ...fðX npÀ1ÞfðX npÞð6Þwhere each row represents a candidate steel design(a student)in the population(class),f(X1,2,...,npÀ1,np)is the corresponding uncon-strained objective function value,and pop symbolizes the population.4.3.Teaching PhaseThe steel design having minimum unconstrained objective function value in the population is found and it is mimicked as tea-cher(X teacher=X min f(X)).Since the teacher will put effort to move the mean of the population,X mean,for the particular design variable towards X teacher,an update formula for the solution X i is applied as: X new;i¼X iþrðX teacherÀT F X meanÞð7Þwhere X new,i and X i are the new and existing solution of i,r is a ran-dom number varying[0,1],T F is a teaching factor being either1or2 [21],and X mean is the mean of the solutions calculated with column-wise manner,Eq.(8).X mean¼m popX npj¼1x j1!!m popX npj¼1x j2!!...m popX npj¼1x jndÀ1!!"ÂpopX npj¼1x jnd!!#ð8Þwhere m(.)is the mean of an data set.At this stage of the TLBO algo-rithm,a controlling procedure is performed for X new,i as having ap-plied Eq.(7),any design variable,x new;i1;x new;i2;...;x new;indÀ1;x new;ind,in X new,i might be less than x L or bigger than x U due to addition and subtrac-tion.If any design variable of X new,i is less than x L or bigger than x U it is taken into account as x L or x U,respectively.In here,x L and x U show the lower and upper boundaries for the design variables.Since the solution of discrete structural optimization problems is explored, x L is equal to1while x U=maximum steel section number considered in the design.If the new solution,X new,i is better than the current solution,X i, the new solution is replaced with the current solution otherwise X i is preserved.In other words,if f(X new,i)<f(X i)X i=X new,i;if f(X new,i)P f(X i)X i=X i.4.4.Learning PhaseAs explained above,students can also increase their knowledge by means of interaction between each other according to teaching–learning process.So,a solution is randomly interacted to learn something new with other solutions in the population.A solution will learn new information if the other solutions have more knowl-edge than him or her[21].The modification formula representing the learning phase is applied to learn new information between the solution i and j in the population can be expressed as:X new;i¼X iþrðX iÀX jÞif fðX iÞ<fðX jÞX new;i¼X iþrðX jÀX iÞif fðX iÞ>fðX jÞð9Þin which X j is the any solution to be different from X i.Then applying of Eq.(9),the solution gained new information,X new,i,is checked so as to ensure that the any design variable in X new,i is bigger than x U and less than x L due to addition and subtraction in Eq.(9).If any de-sign variable of X new,i is less than x L or bigger than x U it is taken into account as x L or x U,respectively,as well as in the teaching phase.If the solution gained new information with help of Eq.(9)pro-duces better unconstrained objective function value than X i change X i to X new,i,otherwise preserve X i.4.5.TerminationAt the end of the learning phase,a cycle(iteration)is completed for the TLBO and the steps in Sections4.3and4.4are continued un-til reaching a termination criterion.In the present work,a termina-tion criterion is adopted for TLBO.The algorithm is terminated when a predetermined maximum iteration number is reached.5.Design examplesThe optimal designs of planar steel two-bay three-story,one-bay ten-story and three-bay twenty four-story frames,respec-tively,are evaluated by using the TLBO to verify the suitability of the design procedure and to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of its.Since they are already optimized by the research-er using different algorithms,i.e.the genetic algorithm(GA)[24], the ant colony optimization(ACO)[23],the harmony search(HS)V.Tog˘an/Engineering Structures34(2012)225–232227[25]and the improved ant colony optimization (IACO)[26],the re-sults of the TLBO are compared to those of GA,ACO,HS,and IACO.Numerical results presented in the study show the best solu-tions obtained among the thirty independent runs performed.The adjustable parameter,T F ,defined in the TLBO algorithm is ta-ken 2as indicated in Rao et al.[21].An approximation

to calculate the member effective length factors depending on the relative stiffness of a member at its two ends,G A ,G B .Designs of examples are obtained selecting appropri-ate W-shaped sections from the AISC-LRFD specification [22].5.1.Two-bay three-story frame designGeometrical properties and load case of two-bay three-storyframe consisting of 15members planar frame is illustrated in Fig.2.All members were assumed to be constructed from a mate-rial with the Young modulus,E ,is 29,000ksi and a yield stress,f y ,is 36ksi.The objective of the problem is to minimize the weight of the structure and the constraints (excluding displacements)areimposed on member stresses in accordance with the AISC-LRFD specification [22].Members of the frame are collected into two groups,which con-sist of six beams and nine columns.In the design,the beams arechosen from a list with 267-W shaped sections while the columns are limited to W10sections resulting in 18-W shapes.The effective length factors,K x ,of the members are calculated from the approx-imate equation proposed by Dumonteil [27].For each column,the out-of-plane effective length factor K y is considered as 1.0.The out-of-plane effective length factor for each beam member is specified as one-sixth of the span length.Table 1summarizes the best designs developed by Pezeshket al.[24]using GA,Camp et al.[23]using ACO,Deg˘ertekin [25]using HS,and by the TLBO algorithm explained in this study.The best design developed by the TLBO algorithm,a frame weighting 17,789lb,is presented in the last column of Table 1.The design produced by the TLBO is approximately 5.4%and 3.0%less than the design of GA,ACO and HS,respectively.The reported minimum number of truss analyses in the given references is 1800[24]and 1853[25]to converge to a solution.However,TLBO algo-rithm develops the presented result at 40generations with a pop-ulation size 20resulting in 1600frame analyses.Typical design history for the best optimum design and average frame weight of 30designs for the two-bay three-story frame is illustrated inFig.3.Moreover,interaction ratio of members at the best solution is also shown in Fig.4.It is surprising that the TLBO algorithm yields the result pre-sented in Table 1at 12th iteration (see Fig.3)resulting in 480frame analyses.Although the design obtained at 12th iteration is the best solution reached at the end of the TLBO process,the aver-age weight of the population at 12th iteration is 22,226.813lb,with a standard deviation of 2688.93lb.In other words,the explo-ration of design space is still continued by TLBO algorithm and the best harmony in the population is not satisfied before after 30th iteration.The average of final generation is 17,795.60lb,with a standard deviation of 28.58lb.It can be stated from Fig.4that interaction ratio of member 2and 14is within 98%and 95%of maximum interaction ratio at the best solution,respectively.It is worthy to state that the result obtained in this study using TLBO is the minimum among the ones obtained previously and the TLBO algorithm exhibits more computational efficiency over GA,ACO,and HS from point of view of frame analyses.Table 1Designs for two-bay,three-story frame.Element groupMemberAISC W-shapes GA Pezeshk et al.[24]ACO Camp et al.[23]HS Deg ˘ertekin [25]TLBO (This

designOne-bay ten-story frame shown in Fig.5is designed using TLBO as second example.The frame consists of 30members and they are organized into 9groups due to fabrication conditions.The corre-sponding member groups,the dimension of the frame and the loading are shown in the figure.The material has a modulus of elasticity E =29,000ksi and a yield stress of f y =36ksi.The design is obeyed the AISC-LRFD specification [22]and a displacement constraints considered as inter-story drift <storey height/300.All 267-W sections is used the groups organized for beam members,while the column element groups is chosen from W14and W12sections.The effective length factors,K x ,of the members are calcu-lated from the approximate equation proposed by Dumonteil [27]when the out-of-plane effective length factor K y is considered as 1.0.The out-of-plane effective length factor for each beam member is specified as one-fifth of the span length.The best frame design that weighs 61,813lb developed by the TLBO and the other algorithms are presented in Table 2.The best TLBO design results is 5.1%less than the design of GA [24]andTable 2Designs for one-bay,ten-story frame.Element group

produces roughly identical design to the design reported by HS[25]and IACO[26].TLBO algorithm uses100generations with a population size20resulting in4000frame analyses to converge to a solution. The required frame analyses to converge to a solution for the TLBO algorithm is more than3000,3690,and2500analyses required by GA[24],HS[25],and IACO[26]except the8300analyses required by ACO[23].Fig.6shows the design history for the best optimum design and average frame weight of30designs for the one-bay ten-story frame.Since both the inter-story drift displacement of some stories and the interaction ratio of several members are within95%of maximum interaction ratio as illustrated in Fig.7and Fig.8,respec-tively,not only inter-story drift constraints but also stress con-straints are dominant at the optimum design.5.3.Three-bay24-story frame designFig.9shows configuration of three-bay24-story frame consist-ing of168members and its node,element numbering patterns and the loading.The loads are W=5761.85lb,w1=300lb/ft,w2= 436lb/ft,w3=474lb/ft and w4=408lb/ft.The members of planar frame are divided into20groups after linking in order to impose the fabrication condition on the construction of the168member frame.The outer columns and inner columns in every three story are grouped together.The beams offirst and third bay on allfloors are considered to be the same whereas the roof beams are grouped to be two different groups,resulting in four beam groups as shown in thefigure.Each of the four beam element groups were chosen from all of the267W-sections,whereas the16column member groups were selected from only W14sections.The material properties are a modulus of elasticity of E=29,732ksi and a yield stress of f y=33.4ksi.The frame is de-signed following the AISC-LRFD specification[22]and uses an in-ter-story drift displacement constraint(inter-story drift<storey height/300).The effective length factors,K x,of the members are calculated from the approximate equation proposed by Dumonteil [27]and the out-of-plane effective length factor K y is considered as 1.0.All columns and beams are considered unbraced along their lengths.Table3lists the designs developed by the TLBO algorithm and the others.The lightest TLBO design results in a frame that weighs 203,008lb,which is7.9%,5.5%and6.6%lighter than the one ob-tained using ACO[23],HS[25]and IACO[26],respectively.TheTLBO algorithm requires approximately12,000frame analysis in order to yield the best optimum design(150generations with a 40population size).Although the required analyses number for the frame is more than3500analyses required by IACO[26],TLBO230V.Tog˘an/Engineering Structures34(2012)225–232enables to reach the best optimum design with less frame analyses when compared to15,500and13,924analyses required by ACO [23]and HS[25].Therefore,it can be expressed that TLBO algo-rithm exhibits more robustness and efficiency over not only ACO [23]and HS[25]but also IACO[26]from the point of view of the best optimum design.Design history of number of cycle(iteration)for the best and average optimum design of steel frame with TLBO is shown in Fig.10.Fig.11shows the inter-story drift for each story of the frame designs whereas the interaction ratio for the three-bay24-story frame design obtained by TLBO is shown in Fig.12.Since the inter-story drift constraint is within95%of the upper limit of most stories as shown in Fig.11at the best optimum when the maximum value of the stress ratio is81%as shown in Fig.12,it should be indicated that inter-story drift constraint is dominant in the optimum design.6.Observations and conclusionsA novel optimization method,TLBO,based on concepts pro-posed by Rao et al.[21],is applied to discrete forms of structural optimization to design low-weight planar steel frames.Through a series of benchmark-type frame optimization problems,the TLBO algorithm demonstrates that it can routinely minimize the overallTable3Designs for three-bay,24-story frame.Element group No.AISC W-shapesACO Camp et al.[23]HS Deg˘ertekin[25]IACO Kaveh and Talatahari[26]TLBO(This study)1(beam1–23S,bay1,3)W30Â90W30Â90W30Â99W30Â90 2(beam24S,bay1,3)W8Â18W10Â22W16Â26W8Â18 3(beam1–23S,bay2)W24Â55W18Â40W18Â35W24Â62 4(beam24S,bay2)W8Â21W12Â16W14Â22W6Â9 5(column1–3S,E)W14Â145W14Â176W14Â145W14Â132 6(column4–6S,E)W14Â132W14Â176W14Â132W14Â120 7(column7–9S,E)W14Â132W14Â132W14Â120W14Â99 8(column10–12S,E)W14Â132W14Â109W14Â109W14Â82 9(column13–15S,E)W14Â68W14Â82W14Â48W14Â74 10(column16–18S,E)W14Â53W14Â74W14Â48W14Â53 11(column19–21S,E)W14Â43W14Â34W14Â34W14Â34 12(column22–24S,E)W14Â43W14Â22W14Â30W14Â22 13(column1–3S,I)W14Â145W14Â145W14Â159W14Â109 14(column4–6S,I)W14Â145W14Â132W14Â120W14Â99 15(column7–9S,I)W14Â120W14Â109W14Â109W14Â99 16(column10–12S,I)W14Â90W14Â82W14Â99W14Â90 17(column13–15S,I)W14Â90W14Â61W14Â82W14Â68 18(column16–18S,I)W14Â61W14Â48W14Â53W14Â53 19(column19–21S,I)W14Â30W14Â30W14Â38W14Â34 20(column22–24S,I)W14Â26W14Â22W14Â26W14Â22 Weight(lb)220,465214,860217,464203,008Note:S=Story;E=Exterior column;I=Interior column.V.Tog˘an/Engineering Structures34(2012)225–232231。
