What are the advantages of using a genetic algorithm in optimisation of structural members over traditional gradient search methods?

I am proposing to optimise a wind turbine tower which will be a hybrid of concrete and steel. As such I will have constraints on the solution in terms of natural frequency, displacement and other...
