Abstract: (9275 Views)
Barrel vaults are attractive space structures that cover large area without intermediate supports. In this paper, the charged
search system (CSS) optimization algorithm is employed for optimal design of barrel vaults. This method utilizes the governing
laws of Coulomb and Gauss from electrostatics and the Newtonian law of mechanics. The results demonstrate the efficiency of
the discrete CSS algorithm compared to other meta-heuristic algorithms.
