| Abstract |
Corrugated steel plates offer several advantages that make them preferred materials for use in various structures including bridges and steel frames. Aside from aircraft design, the corrugated steel plate has also been applied to container, bridges, PEB system, etc. Corrugated steel plates have also been the subject of various research efforts. However, these studies focus on the strength of the beams and the buckling analysis of corrugated steel plates. Optimum design of corrugated web beam remains insufficient. Therefore, this study focuses on the structural design program of sinusoidal corrugated web steel beams using Differential Evolution algorithm. A simple beam model is selected as a numerical example to verify the program. The optimum program is compared with the program using Genetic Algorithm. |
