A Novel Approach to Multi-objective Topology Optimization of Pile Foundations: The MOMPA Algorithm
摘要
This paper explores the application of the Multi-Objective Marine Predator Algorithm (MOMPA) to a real-world engineering challenge: the topology optimization of the pile foundation of a Mooring Dolphin at Hai Linh LNG port in Vietnam. MOMPA, inspired by the hunting tactics of marine predators, is well-suited for solving problems involving multiple competing objectives. The study aims to reduce the overall weight of the pile foundation while ensuring that structural displacement remains within safe limits. This research demonstrates MOMPA’s ability to deliver practical, cost-effective design solutions for complex marine structures by optimizing the piles’ topology and cross-sectional properties. The findings suggest that MOMPA is a promising tool for enhancing the efficiency and safety of civil engineering designs.
