| description | This work proposes a methodology to optimize a reinforced concrete structure. For this, the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) algorithm was used, an algorithm from the group of metaheuristic algorithms, which presents an easy computational implementation. As a study object, a frame structure adapted from a real reinforced concrete building was used, subjected to the dynamic action of artificially generated synoptic wind. The objective function is to reduce the volume of concrete of the structure. For that, the dimensions of the cross-sections were used as design variables, and the maximum displacement at the top imposed by the ASCE / SEI 7-10 standard as a lateral constraint, as well as the maximum story drift between floors. In addition to this structural optimization, it was also proposed the use and optimization of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMD), in different quantities, positions and parameters, improving the dynamic response of the reinforced concrete building. The results show that for this situation it was possible to reduce the concrete volume of the structure by approximately 24%, respecting the maximum limit of displacement at the top required by the standard. |
