Abstract	This paper presents a computer-based method for the optimal design of three-dimensional Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures having beams subjected to shear force and bending moment, columns subjected to biaxial moments, biaxial shears and axial loads, and shear walls subjected to pure shear. Regarding the beams and columns, the design variables are the width, depth and area of longitudinal reinforcement of member sections. The design variables for the shear walls are the thickness of the wall, the area of vertical reinforcement, horizontal distance between the vertical stirrups, the area of horizontal reinforcement, vertical space between the horizontal stirrups, and the area of vertical flexural reinforcement. The Optimality Criteria (OC) method is applied to minimize the cost of the concrete, steel and formwork for the structure. ACI code [1] provisions concerning the strength and ductility of beams, columns and shear walls are taken as constraints. The constraints also impose upper and lower bounds on the dimensions of beams and columns, and on shear wall thickness, reinforcement area and the maximum and minimum vertical and horizontal spaces between the stirrups of the shear walls. Sensitivity analysis is conducted for both internal forces and the capacities of the sections of the beams, columns and shear walls. The features of the design method are illustrated by a solved example.
