Abstract : In this study, the designation of corrugated steel web beams is formulated as optimum design problem. The
minimum weights of these new generation steel beams are taken as the objective functions while the design constraints are
respectively implemented from BS EN1993-1:2005 (Annex-D, Eurocode 3) ve DIN 18-800 Teil-1. Firefly stochastic
optimization technique is used for obtaining the solution of the design problem. The thickness and height of web, distance
between the peaks of the following two web curves, the width and thickness of flange will be considered as the problem
design variables. The formulation of the design problem considering the limitations of the above mentioned turns out to be a
discrete programming problem. Number of design examples considered to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed
algorithm.
Keywords - Structural optimization, corrugated web beams, stochastic searh methods, firefly algorithm.
