Any optimum design requires adequate skill and experience. Overall, having a multitude of variables in a design makes manual optimization fairly difficult or even unattainable. Importantly, due to the paucity of resources and the existence of competitive space, one can only implement and accomplish high-throughput plans, thereby making it crucial to profit from optimization methods. In this research, the objective function was the structure's weight, which was supposed to be directly correlated with its cost. Design models were optimized separately, investigated, and compared using genetic algorithm (GA), LRFD, and ASD analyses with W sections for frames. The cross-section of beams and columns were studied as design variables, and the constraints specified in the Iranian National Building Code (Part 10) were considered design constraints. Ultimately, the graphs for GA and stress ratio in each condition of LRFD and ASD for the W sections were obtained and compared, followed by analyzing and comparing the stress ratio in SAP2000.
