Abstract

The article delves into the optimization of gravity concrete dams using the Grasshopper Algorithm, with a specific focus on the Koyna Dam in India. It highlights the significance of optimizing dam construction to meet environmental, economic, and security needs. The Grasshopper Algorithm, inspired by the behavior of grasshoppers, is introduced as a powerful tool for optimization. The study compares the performance of the Grasshopper Algorithm with other methods like PSO and GWO, demonstrating its superiority in reducing the volume of concrete used in dam construction. The article also considers the impact of earthquake forces on dam stability, showcasing the robustness of the Grasshopper Algorithm in dynamic conditions. Overall, the research aims to provide a more efficient and cost-effective solution for dam construction, ensuring both static and dynamic stability.
