harmony search based algorithms for the optimum cost design of reinforced concrete cantilever retaining walls
cost optimization of the reinforced concrete cantilever soil retaining wall of a given height satisfying some structural and geotechnical design constraints is performed utilizing harmony search and improved harmony search algorithms. the objective function considered is the cost of the structure, and design is based on aci 318-05. this function is minimized subjected to design constraints. a n...
متن کاملA COMBINATION OF PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION AND MULTI-CRITERION DECISION-MAKING FOR OPTIMUM DESIGN OF REINFORCED CONCRETE FRAMES
Structural design optimization usually deals with multiple conflicting objectives to obtain the minimum construction cost, minimum weight, and maximum safety of the final design. Therefore, finding the optimum design is hard and time-consuming for such problems. In this paper, we borrow the basic concept of multi-criterion decision-making and combine it with Particle Swarm Optimi...
متن کاملAn Application of Simulated Annealing to the Optimum Design of Reinforced Concrete Retaining Structures
This paper reports on the application of a simulated annealing algorithm to the minimum cost design of reinforced concrete retaining structures. Cantilever retaining walls are investigated, being representative of reinforced concrete retaining structures that are required to resist a combination of earth and hydrostatic loading. To solve such a constrained optimisation problem, a modified simul...
متن کاملOptimum Design of Plate Structures Using Binary Particle Swarm Optimization
Particle swarm optimization is an efficient population based algorithm used to solve real valued and nonlinear continuous optimization problems. To resolve binary optimization problems with PSO, binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) has been developed. In this paper, optimum design of plates using BPSO is presented. The objective function aims at finding the optimum weight of plates with th...
متن کاملOPTIMUM SHAPE DESIGN OF DOUBLE-LAYER GRIDS BY QUANTUM BEHAVED PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION AND NEURAL NETWORKS
In this paper, a methodology is presented for optimum shape design of double-layer grids subject to gravity and earthquake loadings. The design variables are the number of divisions in two directions, the height between two layers and the cross-sectional areas of the structural elements. The objective function is the weight of the structure and the design constraints are some limitations on str...
