TL;DR: In this article, the design of cantilever soldier pile retaining walls embedded in frictional soils is investigated within the insight of an optimization algorithm to acquire cost and dimension equilibrium by ensuring both geotechnical and structural requirements simultaneously.

TL;DR: Considering the eco-friendly design necessities of reinforced concrete structures, the acquirement of minimizing both the cost and the CO 2 emission of the reinforced concrete retaining walls in conjunction with ensuring stability conditions has been investigated using harmony search algorithm.

TL;DR: This paper presents the parametric modelling process of cantilever soldier pile walls based on CO 2 and cost optimization with the Harmony Search Algorithm to fulfil the geotechnical and structural design requirements and sustainable usage necessities simultaneously.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Harmony Search (HS) algorithm is utilized to perform single and multivariate parametric studies to acquire the optimization of both size and cost of reinforced concrete (RC) retaining walls embedded in pure frictional soils.

TL;DR: In this paper, the consistency characteristics of plastic clays are investigated based on the analyses conducted with both applications of regression and artificial intelligence methods, and the main aim of acquiring a direct relationship between the liquid limit versus plasticity index value is to reduce the dependency of the consistency limit tests to the operators' experience and also the physical condition of the experimental application environment.
