Optimum Cost Design of Reinforced Concrete Retaining Walls Using Hybrid Firefly Algorithm
2014
International Journal of Engineering and Technology
This paper develops a novel optimization method namely hybrid firefly algorithm with harmony search technique (IFA-HS), to obtain the optimal cost of the reinforced concrete retaining walls satisfying the stability criteria. The hybrid IFA-HS is utilized to find the economical design adhering to provisions of ACI 318-05. Also Coulomb lateral earth pressure theory is used to derive the lateral total thrust on the wall. Some design examples are tested using the new method. The results carried out
