# Optimization Design for RC (Reinforced Concrete) Structures
This repository is created for the lecture on "Fundamentals of Concrete Structures" at Wuhan University.
# How to run
## Download python (Required version 3.12.7 )
### Method 1: Anaconda
#### Download anaconda
Go anaconda official page to download anaconda and install it
https://www.anaconda.com/
#### use anaconda to create python virutal environment
``` pwsh
conda create -n ConcreteOpt python=3.12.7
```
### Method 2: Python official page
Go to python official page to download python and install
https://www.python.org/
## Enviorment set-up
Install third-party package that used in the project and
### For method 1: Python installed from Anaconda
``` pwsh
conda activate ConcreteOpt # acitvate created python virtual environment
pip install -r requirement.txt # install packages
```
### For method 2: Pyhton installed from Python official
``` pwsh
pip install -r requirement.txt # install packages
```
## Run opt python script
``` pwsh
python opt_design_beam.py # example to carry out beam design optimization
```
