OPTIMIZATION METHOD FOR ANCHORED CONCRETE DIAPHRAGM QUAY WALLS BY USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK AND PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM

considering the advantages of concrete diaphragm wall system, and its widely uses of them in developing southern ports of Iran, and regarding economical considerations and constructioncosts of these projects, the necessity of reviewing design process and optimization of these structures, will become necessary. It supposed to be difficult due to the complicity of the project and required time to fully nonlinear dynamic analysis of such structures.In this paper, a simple model was performed and a suitable optimization method presented to optimize anchored concrete diaphragm wall, by studying shahid rajae port complex development stage 2.
