Cost optimization of a composite floor system using an improved harmony search algorithm
AbstractIn this study, cost optimization of a composite floor system is performed utilizing the harmony search algorithm and an improved harmony search algorithm. These algorithms imitate the musical performance process that takes place when a musician searches for a better state of harmony, similar to the optimum design process which looks for the optimum solution. A composite floor system is designed by the LRFD-AISC method, using a unit consisting of a reinforced concrete slab and steel beams. The objective function is considered as the cost of the structure, which is minimized subjected to serviceability and strength requirements. Examples of composite floor systems are presented to illustrate the performance of the presented algorithms.
