Abstarct: Considering the damages and injuries caused by earthquakes in high-risk earthquake zones, the need to design earthquake-resistant structures seems undeniable. To design an earthquake-proof building, it is necessary to have comprehensive knowledge about its response against the forces caused by the earthquake. It should be noted that compliance with the code-specified rules and regulations does not guarantee the full resistance of buildings to earthquake forces. Therefore, the response of structures should be considered carefully. This requires an exact explanation of the concepts related to the seismology of strong-motion records and the engineering design criteria With increasing population growth and limited urban land, especially in commercial and industrial areas, the use of multi-story buildings is essential. Due to the limitations of urban landscapes and the application of some structures, the design conditions require that the distance between the columns be more than the normal value. Therefore, the use of appropriate and efficient structural systems, both technically and economically, seems necessary. In these cases, there are various options for designing the load-bearing system of the building. One of the most effective and widely used options is to use a frxame with special truss beams. In this research, truss arrangement, cross section of truss members, truss height and length of special zone of the truss moment resisting frxame are optimized using genetic andisland genetic algorithm. The optimization code is written in Matlab software environment and OpenSees software is used for structural analysis. In this Thesis, the optimal design of a special moment resisting frxame is performed, once under a single-objective, objective function with the aim of minimizing the weight and again under a multi-objective, objective function with the aim of minimizing weight and maximizing behavior coefficient simultaneously. In this study, the coefficient of behavior is obtained from nonlinear static and nonlinear dynamic analysis and the optimal design of members is done using the rules of AISC341-16. The results showed that the island genetic algorithm has a significant convergence rate in achieving the minimum point. It is noteworthy that the evaluation of the results showed the efficiency and performance of the two-objective objective function method.Also, the comparison of the methods showed that the MPA method is suitable for structures with a ratio of total height to span greater than one And for ratios smaller than one, the NSP method also performs well. Finally, a formula for calculating the optimal truss height and the optimal specific segment length was proposed and presented.
