Automatic optimal design algorithm for the foundation of tower cranes

As buildings become taller and larger, the lifting plan safety review has become more important in construction project management. However, the cost and safety aspects of the lifting plan are contradictory to each other. Therefore, an optimization algorithm needs to be devised as a solution to this problem. In many cases at construction sites, the selection and stability review of the tower cranes are assigned to the equipment suppliers or the field managers, which causes problems for the safety and cost of a project. To prove this aspect of the current situation, this study examines an automatic optimization algorithm for designing the foundation of tower cranes. This algorithm can be implemented by a computerized system and easily and promptly utilized by field managers without the need for substantial knowledge.
