The goal of any structural design process is to produce a safe design that meets all the design codes requirements, while trying to minimize the cost of the design. In Civil Engineering Structures, majorly cost is the objective of optimization of the structure. In most cases, the material cost is included in objective function. In some cases, construction cost is also included in objective function. The objective of the optimization is to minimize the cost of the Structures while satisfying strength and serviceability constraints. In order to investigate the efficiency and accuracy of the modern optimization methods in comparison with classical methods, an elevated INTZE tank is primarily designed based on the recommendations of Indian code and then optimized using Genetic Algorithm (GA), Firefly Algorithm (FA), Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). objective function is the material cost of the tank which is the function of the design variables. The total material cost of the tank can be expressed as the sum of the cost of concrete, reinforcement and cost of formwork. Design constraints of the problem also include the stresses of the structure members and the limitations of the volume and geometric dimensions of the water tank. All constraints were satisfied and the stresses and stability constraints were in acceptable ranges.
