Abstract: Bat algorithm (BA) is one of the well-established metaheuristic algorithms based on the echolocation characteristics of microbats. Literature studies demonstrate that BA provides good results in a wide range of optimization ...

Abstract: Existing linear programming (LP) models of earthwork allocations in roadway construction assume that unit cost coefficients of earthwork activities and borrow pits/disposal sites capacities are certain and deterministic ...

Abstract: In this paper, a substructuring method is presented for calculating the displacement of cable domes. This method obtained matrices as a canonical form in cyclic structures using graph theory. This method helps to avoid the ...
