Optimum Design Of Elastic Continuous Foundations With The Artificial Bee Colony Method

The study presents the investigation of elastic behavior soil in optimal design continuous foundations according to rigid solid case. For investigation, optimization algorithm that can find section and reinforcement details has been developed. developed uses one well-known meta-heuristic methods named artificial Bee Colony method design. Winkler spring hypothesis (analytic solution) is used calculate internal forces stresses foundations. We real-size example previously literature test effect performance. obtained results show current performs well, lower cost values are
