Genetic algorithm for material cost minimization of external strengthening system with fiber reinforced polymer

An optimization procedural method for designing fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) plate for strengthening reinforced concrete beam is presented. The optimization procedure is formulated to find the design variables leading to the minimum cost of structural strengthening system using CFRP plate with con...
