Optimum design of structures is achieved by genetic algorithm. The evolutionary algorithm is employed to design structures. The method improves the computing efficiency of the large-scale optimization problems and enhances the global convergence of the design process. The loads are considered as earthquake loads. A time history analysis is carried out for the dynamic analysis. To decrease the computational work, a wavelet transform is used by which the number of points in the earthquake record is reduced. A reverse wavelet transform is also employed to reconstruct the functions under consideration in the time domain. A number of space structures are designed for minimum weight and the results are compared with exact dynamic analysis.
