Hi Nazim Nariman

I am studying about the above topic!

In some papers the reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) of structures is presented. Actually the global search and optimization capabilities of genetic algorithm (GA) can be combined with the efficiency and reasonable accuracy of an advanced moment-based finite element reliability method. For performing RBDO, three variants of GA including a real-coded, a binary-coded and an improved binarycoded GA can be developed. In these methods, GA performs finite element reliability analyses to evaluate reliability constraints. For truss structures which include finite element modeling, reliability constraints can be evaluated using finite element reliability analysis. Response sensitivity required for finite element reliability analysis can be obtained by direct differentiation method rather than finite difference method. You can find many different approaches for RBDO of reinforced concrete and steel structures.
