Özet
Optimum analysis and modelling for any structural member in civil engineering designs are important and they should be also applied and realised by making it possible of providing safe construction, serviceable conditions, and also sustainable requirements. With this aim, in the present study, a simply supported Reinforced concrete (RC) beam with rectangular cross-section was designed with the purpose of reducing and even minimisation of carbon dioxide (CO2) amount emission from structural materials (concrete and steel reinforcement). Furthermore, in the scope of this purpose, optimal beam designs were provided by considering several concrete compressive strength options, and optimal levels for total costs are determined with respect to each design combination, too. To realise this process, the Flower pollination algorithm (FPA) was utilised which is one of the well-known and most-used metaheuristic algorithms. By this means, it can be possible to ensure and generate cost-effective, safe, clean, and sustainable designs by carrying out eco-friendly processes owing to the emission reduction of damaging factors as CO2.
