Abstract

The feasibility of the application of optimisation techniques to relatively small civil engineering problems as typified by retaining wall design is presented. The objective function as measured by the cost of concrete and reinforcing steel is minimized with respect to the toe, heel, stem base and footing thickness dimensions.
