The application of parametric and topological optimization in the conception of buildings is a problem of high complexity due mainly to the large number of variables of interest to be optimized and to its nature intrinsically multiobjective. Due to the computational development occurred in the last decades, it has arisen the opportunity for a broad...

... comparison purposes with the numerical application presented in this section, a structural model was created with the same input data as the example, but with fixed column arrangement, following standards used by designers, such as column arrangement in corners and other columns being symmetrically distributed in the structure, avoiding long-span beams. The arrangement of the columns is shown in Figure 9, and it presents the following positions and coordinates: 1 (1;1), 5 (1;5), 8 (1;8), 57 (8;1), 64 (8;8), 113 (15;1), 117 (15;5) and 120 (15;8). The results obtained with this structural model were the following: 2.16 m³ of concrete, 874.81 kg of steel and total cost of R$ 5,009.64. ...

... can be inferred from Figure 10 the behavior of the structural optimization against the GA formulation, noting that the results found tend to decrease along time processing, thus improving its performance to find a result closer to the optimal one. Table 1 compares the results found in the conventional design ( Figure 9) and results found through the simulation model for the example (Figure 8). In addition, this table presents the difference in obtained results. ...
