Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithms and Civil Engineering - Civil & Structural Engineering 

The purpose of  the using metaheuristic algorithm is to obtain an efficient and quickly solution for the related problem from the solution space which consist of the all combination of design variables. Testing  all  combination  to  find  best  solution  takes many  computational  times  and  calculation  efforts  when  the number of design variables are high.
