| Summary: | In modern engineering, the difficulties presented by climate change and the growing global population have increased the demand for adaptable, sustainable, robust, and multifunctional infrastructure. This is especially important in geotechnical engineering. In this field, designing underground structures that can support structural loads is the fundamental goal. Structural optimization of foundations is a critical component in realizing sustainable constructions. An innovative approach incorporates Nature-inspired designs, translating biological principles into the geotechnical context to offer novel solutions. To design bio-inspired solutions, we evaluate their potential improvements by considering the differences between the demands and mechanical conditions of biological and engineering materials and systems. For this purpose, we developed a BESO algorithm that optimizes a root-inspired foundation. This marks the beginning of a deeper exploration into bio-inspired solutions for geotechnical problems, which underscores the necessity for a framework facilitating the implementation of Finite Element algorithms for structural optimization simulations of foundations. Such a framework enables the extraction and adaptation of a broader variety of materials, mechanisms, and designs from Nature. Finally, the combination of structural optimization and bio-inspired design can lead to a new paradigm in the design and construction of geostructures. |
