| Abstract: | This paper investigates the potential of using genetic algorithms (GA) in optimization of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. The optimum cost design of three RC structures, a beam, a low-rise frame, and a high-rise single core wall building, using GAs with variable operators are presented. The results show that GAs help to efficiently locate a near optimal solution offering lower overall cost designs compared to traditional design methods. |
