This paper presents an automated optimal design method using a hybrid genetic algorithm
for pile group foundation design. The design process is a sizing and topology optimization …

The full potential of pile optimization has not been realized as the interactions between
superstructures and foundations, and the relationships between material usage and …

This paper studies the optimum conceptual design of pile foundations at the initial design
stage. A modular method is proposed, which divides the foundation into modules and each …

Important buildings such as nuclear power plants always require stricter control of
differential settlement than ordinary buildings. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an …

Today's biggest structural engineering challenge is to design better structures, and a key
issue is the need to take an integrated approach which balances control of costs with the …

The optimization for symmetrical gravity retaining walls of different heights is examined in
this study. For this purpose, an optimization problem of continuous functions is developed …

A numerical model of the shape optimization of a rectangular machine foundation
embedded in soil when subjected to external dynamic forces and moments is presented. A …

ABSTRACT A 2D (Plain strain) wall‒backfill‒foundation interaction is modeled using finite
element method by ANSYS to find the optimum design based on the principle of soil …

This bibliography contains references to papers, conference proceedings and
theses/dissertations dealing with applications of FEM and BEM in geomechanics that were …

In order to reduce the costs and improve the overall performance of building systems, the
static optimized design with variable rigidity of piled raft foundations has been widely used in …
