Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to investigate the consideration of the orientation of the mounted column to the footings in the optimum design. In that case, a good balance on critical sections moments and the design can be done optimally. The results including eccentricity of the mounted column are compared with the case of footings that have columns in the mid-point. The optimization is done via harmony search algorithm, and multiple cases of bending moment of the mounted column are investigated. According to the results, the optimum orientation of the column has up to 71.49% cost reduction, and the gap between the two designs closes if the axial force increases.
