Structural engineering is focused on the safe and efficient design of infrastructure. Projects
can range in size and complexity, many requiring massive amounts of materials and …

Abstract In this paper, Squid Game Optimizer (SGO) is proposed as a novel metaheuristic
algorithm inspired by the primary rules of a traditional Korean game. Squid game is a …

An optimized cross-sectional area of a retaining wall assists in reducing material costs.
Nevertheless, the design solution obtained from the traditional methods is not always the …

The paper deals with the reliability–based design optimization (RBDO) of concrete gravity
dams subjected to earthquake load using subset simulation. The optimization problem is …

This study is primarily aimed at creating three machine learning models: artificial neural
network (ANN), random forest (RF), and k-nearest neighbour (KNN), so as to predict the …

Earth Dams are one of the most important and expensive civil engineering structures to
which a considerable amount of budget is allocated. Their construction costs are mainly …

This study focuses on the shape optimization of concrete gravity dams considering dam–
water–foundation interaction and nonlinear effects subject to earthquake. The concrete …

A lot of research has been done on how to make buildings stronger against lateral forces
caused by earthquakes and wind. One way to do this is to use energy dissipation dampers …

Optimization techniques can be efficiently utilized to achieve an optimal shape for arch
dams. This optimal design can consider the conditions of the economy and safety …

Because the double curvature arch dam has the characteristics of distributing the stress for
existing loads, it is more and more applied to water conservancy projects. The variable …
