 INTRODUCTION
Optimization is reducing the cost of the system
without altering its performance, safety and space
requirement.

Need of optimization: Sustainable development

Layout optimization - optimization in terms of

location of
beams and columns.

Layout optimization: best optimization domain

compared to size and shape optimization which
arent that effective for small scales.

1) ONLY GRAVITY LOADS CONSIDERED

2) GRAVITY LOADS ARE UNIFORM

3) COLUMN SIZES WILL BE

DEPENDENT
UPON LOAD COMING ON IT

Total stability/Total number of columns

FUTURE PLANS

Incorporating other parameters: cost of material and formwork

related cost.

cost analysis of the column - corresponding to the load coming on

to it.

whatever low load a column will be bearing, itll have some

minimum dimension.

The form work cost parameter will also be incorporated.

Using all such parameters in a multi-parameter optimization

technique such as Pareto optimal solution to reach an optimized
column layout.
