Design Of Liquid Retaining Concrete Structures Pdf
. Part of the book series (LNCS, volume 2358) Abstract In this paper, genetic algorithm (GA) is applied to the optimum design of reinforced concrete liquid retaining structures, which comprise three discrete design variables, including slab thickness, reinforcement diameter and reinforcement spacing. GA, being a search technique based on the mechanics of natural genetics, couples a Darwinian survival-of-the-fittest principle with a random yet structured information exchange amongst a population of artificial chromosomes. As a first step, a penalty-based strategy is entailed to transform the constrained design problem into an unconstrained problem, which is appropriate for GA application. A numerical example is then used to demonstrate strength and capability of the GA in this domain problem. It is shown that, only after the exploration of a minute portion of the search space, near-optimal solutions are obtained at an extremely converging speed.
Modified versions supersede those in EN 1992-1-1 for the design of liquid retaining or containment structures. Where a Principle or Application Rule in EN 1992-1-1 is modified or replaced, the new number is identified by the addition of 100 to the original number. Where a new Principle or Application Rule is added, it is identified. DESIGN OF WATER RETAINING STRUCTURES TO EUROCODES. Atmospheric pressure 10 EN 1992-3 Liquid retaining and containment structures Additional rules for structures constructed from concrete for containment of liquid and granular solids This is to be read in conjunction with EN1992-1-1. This does NOT cover Storage of material at very low.

The method can be extended to application of even more complex optimization problems in other domains.
