This paper presents a review of interesting work on optimization of highrise building
structures with a focus on large-scale and real-life structures. A number of interesting …

Optimization is a branch of mathematics concerned with obtaining the conditions that give
the extreme value of a function, or many functions, under given circumstances. In other …

This paper presents a new methodology for cost-and carbon-optimal generation of multi-
storey building designs. The methodology features algorithms for automatic optimised …

This paper describes a methodology to design reinforced concrete (RC) building frames
based on minimum embedded CO2 emissions. The design involves optimization by a …

A procedure is developed for designing low-cost or low-weight cantilever reinforced
concrete retaining walls, with base shear keys, using big bang–big crunch (BB-BC) …

As the world struggles to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, much
attention is focused on making buildings operate more efficiently. However, there is another …

A hybrid Big Bang-Big Crunch (BB-BC) optimization algorithm is applied to the design of
reinforced concrete frames. The objective of the optimization is to minimize the total cost or …

An integrated design approach for the cost and embodied carbon optimisation of reinforced
concrete structures is presented in this paper to inform early design decisions. A BIM-based …

This article aims to describe a methodology to design RC building frames based on a
multiobjective simulated annealing (MOSA) algorithm applied to four objective functions …

Minimising carbon emissions from the building construction industry is of paramount
importance in the present context due to the rising concerns of climate change. This paper …
