Abstract Various foundation techniques have been employed to create numerous high-rise structures during the last several decades. Because building projects consume a significant amount of government and private sector cash and time, it is critical to plan how resources in the construction industry may be used efficiently. Construction prices, the project timetable, and the construction process all significantly influence the design phase of a building project, which comes before all other building operations. Therefore, choosing the greatest design option might help be save money. The purpose of this study is to propose a methodology that integrates approaches for the optimization of foundation systems of high-rise buildings and the ability to assess different solutions of the design alternatives for the foundation systems of high-rise buildings. A study of parametric data was carried out, including 180 cases of foundation systems for high-rise building models. Each model has its spacing between columns, number of floors, floor height, slap load, total weight, base shear, and over. Moment, gravity load, seismic load, design load, different columns (mid-edge- corner), soil profile, bearing capacity, GWT, excavation depth, and foundation systems (shallow and deep footing). The study covered spacing between columns (5.0, 7.0, 9.0 )m and the number of stories from 15 to 35 stories. An ANNs model was proposed to produce highly reliable construction cost and time estimates for 180 different datasets for the foundation system of a high-rise building. The conclusions presented in this research are based on the comprehensive body of work supported by the review of scientific literature, quantitative analysis of selecting the optimal foundation system using optimization techniques for a high-rise building, and qualitative analysis of expert opinions. These have been discussed in detail with case studies. The research outlines the essential information that architects, and structural engineers need to choose the optimal foundation system for high-rise buildings. |
