Abstract :An efficient metaheuristic optimization method called Jaya Algorithm (JA) has gained wide acceptance among optimization researchers in various engineering problems recently. The main feature of JA is that it does not use algorithm-specific parameters and has a very simple formulation based on the concept of approaching the best solution and moving away from the worst solution. This study presents the JA formulation for design optimization of planar steel frames under strength and displacement constraints. The validity of JA is investigated by solving two benchmark design examples. The results demonstrated the superiority of JA over other state-of-the-art metaheuristic optimization methods in terms of optimized weight, number of structural analyses and several statistical parameters.Keywords : design optimization, planar steel frames, metaheuristic optimization methods, Jaya algorithm
