In this paper, the Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) is employed for discrete optimization of truss structures using some steel profiles. GSA is compared to other heuristic methods including Genetic Algorithm, Ant colony optimization, Particle swarms optimizer, Harmony Search and some other methods. The performance of the GSA is evaluated through some numerical examples. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the presented method in structural optimization.
