Optimal proportioning of concrete aggregates using a self-adaptive genetic algorithm

Adil Amirjanov , Konstantin Sobolev

Abstract

Key Words

A linear programming problem of the optimal proportioning of concrete aggregates is discussed; and a self-adaptive genetic algorithm is developed to solve this problem. The proposed method is based on changing a range of variables for capturing the feasible region of the optimum solution. A computational verification of this method is compared with the results of the linear programming.
