Abstract

The use of an improved version of optimization subroutines described in earlier work is demonstrated for the minimum cost design of reinforced concrete cantilever retaining walls. A particular design situation is considered and the costs of nine different geometric wall sections are compared for a range of heights and ground bearing capacities and two different fill materials behind the wall.
