According to the deformation compatibility method and nonlinear optimization method
and using Fmincon function from the optimization box of Matlab
optimization design model of cable-anchored piles is established regarding the project cost as its objective function
the primary design parameter is optimized at the least cost of cable-anchored piles. The application of practical engineering shows that: the direct investment can be reduced to a certain degree in comparison with the original project by the optimization design and it brings great economic benefit.
