Metaheuristic Optimization of Reinforced Concrete Frames: Optimization of RC Frames
Abstract
In this chapter, an optimum design methodology for reinforced concrete (RC) frames are presented. In the optimum design of frames, both beams and columns are optimized. In addition to that, internal forces can be modified according to rigidity of members for statically indetermined frames. In the presented methodology, the optimization of RC frame is done according to dynamic seismic loads and the design is done according to time-history analysis. As a metaheuristic algorithm, a modified harmony search is used, and the design constraints are provided according to ACI 318: Building code requirements for structural concrete. The optimum results of two span-two story symmetric RC frames and three span-three story RC frame are presented.
