The slabs with various end conditions are formulated according to the ACI code. The formulated problem contains three optimization variables the thickness of the slab steel bar diameter and bar spacing while objective involves the minimization of overall cost of the structure which includes the cost of concrete cost of reinforcement and the constraints involves the design requirement and ACI codes limit. The proposed method is developed using MATLAB. Finally to validate the performance of the proposed algorithm the results are compared with the previously proposed algorithms. The comparison of results shows that the proposed method provides a significant improvement over the previously proposed algorithms.
