Dynamic Loads and Different Soil Characteristics Examination on Optimum Design of Cantilever Retaining Walls Utilizing Harmony Search Algorithm

Optimum the cantilever retaining wall design for different soils and dynamic earthquake effects is presented here. In investigation of optimum design-based metaheuristic, harmony search algorithm was considered cases which include five soil two characteristics. Earthquake characteristics mild severe were obtained regarding locations selected from Turkey Risk Map. For local classes, map spectral acceleration coefficients utilized defined in Turkish Building Code-2018. Sliding, overturning, bearing capacity safety factors taken as constraints checking stability criteria given Since cost-based weight optimization problem objective function, dimensions are discrete variables compared terms cases. It seen that increase order to meet case load increases when by analyzes examined. Another result same zone therefore cost mostly weak quality soils.
