Optimization of Mass Concrete Construction Using a Twofold Parallel Genetic Algorithm

Optimization of Mass Concrete Construction Using a Twofold Parallel Genetic Algorithm

This paper presents a solution strategy, based on a parallel Genetic Algorithm (GA), to optimize the construction of massive concrete structures. The optimization process aims at minimizing the construction cost, considering the following design variables: the concrete mixes, the placing temperature...
