In design optimization of crane metallic structures (CMSs), existing heuristic approaches require very high computational cost for searching global or near-global optimal solutions. This hindered their generalization and application in practice. In this paper a novel discrete imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) for the design optimization of CMSs is developed and firstly used for a real crane...
