Abstract
This research presents the application of Crow search algorithm (CSA) to design the optimal steel frames according LRFD method by AISC standard. W-shaped sections is selected from the standard tables of steel sections specified by the AISC. The CSA works based on this idea that crows store their excess food in hiding places and retrieve it when the food is needed. The algorithm is developed by Visual Studio 2015. In order to indicate the efficiency of CSA will test by steel frames 2 examples and compare the result of CSA with the result of other algorithms from literature. The result indicate CSA is high performance and has statistical results better than other algorithms that were compared.
