Cost Optimization of Roof Top Swimming Pool

commonly used for storage of water for swimming, wading, diving, recreation or instruction, etc. The vertical wall of such pool is subjected to hydrostatic pressure and the base is subjected to weight of water and it is designed by using IS 3370:2009 Part (I, II). Optimization can be defined as the process of finding the conditions that give the maximum or minimum value of a function. This study focused on the optimum cost design of roof top swimming pools due to effects of unit weight of water, variation in grade of concrete and also for capacity change. The main aim is to achieve the economy. Material saving results in saving in construction cost at the same time the safety is also considered. The model is analyzed and design by using MATLAB software. Optimization is formulated in nonlinear programming problem (NLPP) by using sequential unconstrained minimization technique.
