RESUMO

This work addresses two important issues of Optimization: Mathematical Programming and Genetic Algorithms. First, classes of optimization problems, that can be handled by the classical methods of Mathematical Programming, are briefly presented. After that, the techniques of Genetic Algorithms are displayed in detail. Such methods are inspired by the laws that rules the evolution of the species. The basic differences between the Mathematical Programming and Genetic Algorithms are deeply discussed. The main parameters that control Genetic Algorithms are described and some recommendations about their values are made.The work is concluded y some optimization examples of reinforced concrete structures, as a column under combined axial load and bi-axial bending and a five floor reinforced concrete plane frame.
