ABSTRACT
In this study, cost optimization of a 4-storey school building is carried out. For the optimization, ACDOS (Automated Cost and Design Optimization of Structures) program – which is a computing platform created by the authors – is used. The Rao-1 algorithm is the optimization method used. As a result, a cost analysis of the RC building was performed and 12% cost savings were achieved.
