In most countries, the construction industry is one of the most dangerous industries. Safety in construction is a complex issue and is influenced by many factors, such as the technology being used, worker behaviour, actual site conditions and, of course, the design being constructed. Given this back
A regional genetic algorithm (R-GA) is used for the discrete optimal design of truss structures. The chromosomes are selected from a sub-region centred on the continuous optimum. This approach replaces genetic rebirth as previously proposed by other authors, thereby signiΓΏcantly reducing computation
Corresponding to each odd integer q, we construct a complex orthogonal design. The number of variables and the form of the design depends on the integer q. Almost all of these designs are new and as a corollary we get a new asymptotic existence result for complex Hadamard matrices.
