This book introduces an auto‑design‑based optimization for building frames using an artificial neural network (ANN)‑based Lagrange method and novel genetic algorithm (GA). The work of great mathematician Joseph‑Louis Lagrange and ANNs are merged to identify parameters that optimize structural frames of reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, and steel frames subject to one or more design...

1. Introduction to optimizations of structural frames. 

2. An auto-design for optimizing RC frames using the ANN-based Hong-Lagrange algorithm. 

3. An auto-design for optimizing prestressed frames using the ANN-based Hong-Lagrange algorithm. 

4. An auto-design for optimizing steel frames using the ANN-based Hong-Lagrange algorithm. 

5. A new GA using mutations with dynamic ranges and a probability-based natural selection method to optimize precast beams. 

6. AI-based optimizations of RC and PT frames (AI-FRT) using penalty-based genetic algorithm with probabilistic-based natural selections (PPD-GA) using dynamic mutations.
