Optimum design of 3D reinforced concrete building frames with the flower pollination algorithm

The flower pollination algorithm (FPA) is a highly efficient metaheuristic optimization that inspired by the process of flowering species. FPA characterised simplicity in its formulation as well high computational performance and it has been found to outperform other well-established algorithms range diverse problems. present study applies, for first time, computationally challenging optimum design real-world 3D reinforced concrete (RC) building frame structures after set appropriate modifications original formulation. To serve this goal, new framework RC frames developed interacting with well-known software SAP2000 purposes structural analysis design. then applied minimum material cost 4-storey 12-storey accordance Eurocode regulations. It exhibits better or similar than these tasks. Furthermore, parameter tuning reveals values maximize frames. • A platform developed. modified version Flower Pollination Algorithm are used optimize outperforms algorithms. Parameter optimal algorithm.
