Abstract
This research presents the application of fruit fly optimization algorithm for optimum design of reinforced concrete foundations. The objective of this research is the most economical reinforced concrete foundations design according to engineering institute of Thailand standard strength design method (EIT1008-38). The optimum design procedure is created by Visual basic language. The performance of fruit fly optimization algorithm is examined by three reinforced concrete foundation design examples different load carrying conditions. From the results, it showed that the fruit fly optimization algorithm can be used for optimum design of reinforced concrete foundations. In addition, the number of iteration is 300 and the fruit fly number is 200 individuals, which gave the best statistical results. Moreover, the optimum solutions are more economical than the traditional method by the average of 23%.
