GENETIC ALGORITHM BASED DESIGN OF A SIMPLY SUPPORTED REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMBy DON MATHEW ALEX, Laju Kottalil
Abstract: This paper demonstrates an application of the genetic algorithms to the design of a simply supported reinforced concrete beam. Cost optimisation of reinforced concrete beam is carried out to get the most economical concrete section and the reinforcements at user specified intervals. Genetic algorithm is used to find out the depth, the number and diameter of bars and the diameter and spacing of stirrups. A program is created based on …
