the Australianinventor Michell, who worked on some of the first truss solutions and derived optimality criteriafor the least-weight-layout of trusses [1, 2]. Topology optimization has great potential to achieveeconomical and efficient engineering designs due to its ability to allocate materials to the mosteffective locations. Research on topology optimization has advanced over the last severaldecades, and has been specifically focused on developing optimization algorithms [2]. There aremany engineering related industries that use topology optimization, including aerospace,automobile, biological engineering, material engineering and so on. In recent years, thesetopology optimization techniques have attracted attention to building design
