ENHANCED CHARGED SYSTEM SEARCH FOR OPTIMUM DESIGN OF INDUSTRIAL TUNNEL SECTIONS
Authors
Abstract:
Tunnel structures are known as expensive infrastructures and determining optimum designs of these structures can play a great role in minimizing their cost. The formulation of optimum design of industrial tunnel sections as an optimization is considered in this paper and then the enhanced charged system search, as a recently developed meta-heuristic approach, has been applied to solve the problem. The results and comparisons based on numerical examples show the efficiency of the optimization algorithm.
