Optimization of Pile Groups : A practical study using Genetic Algorithm and Direct Search with four different objective functions

Piling is expensive but often necessary when building large structures, for example bridges. Some pile types, such as steel core piles, are very costly and it is therefore of great interest to keep the number piles in a pile group to a minimum. This thesis deals with optimization of pile groups with...
