SLAB FORMWORK DESIGN USING GENETIC ALGORITHM Formwork design using GA
A method to design cost-optimum slab formwork components is proposed in this paper. Genetic Algorithms (GAs), a technique based on the principles of natural selection and evolution, is applied to solve the optimisation problem. GAs search from a population of possible solutions limited by a set of constraints. The cost of form components and labor involved, were considered for the formulation o...
متن کاملTHE COST OPTIMIZATION OF A COMPOSITE METAL FLOOR DECK BY HARMONY SEARCH METAHEURISTIC ALGORITHM
The purpose of this research to present for the first time a practical plan to cost optimize the composite metal floor deck, so that the designer, by having the dimensions of the main beam framing, will be able to come to the most design including: the section of composite steel beam, the beam span, the thickness of metal deck sheets and the thickness of the concrete slab. The main method of op...
متن کاملA HYBRID CHARGED SYSTEM SEARCH - FIREFLY ALGORITHM FOR OPTIMIZATION OF WATER DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS
Water distribution networks are one of the important and costly infrastructures of cities and many meta-heuristic algorithms in standard or hybrid forms were used for optimizing water distribution networks. These algorithms require a large amount of computational cost. Therefore, the converging speed of algorithms toward the optimization goal is as important as the goal itself. In this paper, a...
متن کاملOPTIMUM DESIGN OF DOUBLE CURVATURE ARCH DAMS USING A QUICK HYBRID CHARGED SYSTEM SEARCH ALGORITHM
This paper presents an efficient optimization procedure to find the optimal shapes of double curvature arch dams considering fluid–structure interaction subject to earthquake loading. The optimization is carried out using a combination of the magnetic charged system search, big bang-big crunch algorithm and artificial neural network methods. Performing the finite element analysis dur...
متن کاملMOUTH BROODING FISH ALGORITHM FOR COST OPTIMIZATION OF REINFORCED CONCRETE ONE-WAY RIBBED SLABS
In this paper, the optimum design of a reinforced concrete one-way ribbed slab, is presented via recently developed metaheuristic algorithm, namely, the Mouth Brooding Fish (MBF). Meta-heuristics based on evolutionary computation and swarm intelligence are outstanding examples of nature-inspired solution techniques. The MBF algorithm simulates the symbiotic interaction strategies adopted by org...
