Abstract

Tubular steel monopole structure is widely used for supporting antennas in telecommunication industries. This research presents two recently developed meta-heuristic algorithms, which are called Colliding Bodies Optimization (CBO) and Enhanced Colliding Bodies Optimization (ECBO), for size optimization of monopole steel structures. The design procedure aims to obtain minimum weight of monopole structures subjected to the TIA-EIA222F specification. Two monopole structure examples are examined to verify the suitability of the design procedure and to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the CBO and ECBO in creating optimal design for this problem. The outcomes of the enhanced colliding bodies optimization (ECBO) are also compared to those of the standard colliding bodies optimization (CBO) to illustrate the importance of the enhancement of the CBO algorithm.
