This paper presents a discrete optimization of reinforced concrete structures based on an efficient combination of deterministic and stochastic optimization strategies. The deterministic optimization algorithm is used for the detailing of a reinforced concrete cross-section for a given combination of internal forces. The multi-objective stochastic optimization algorithm is then applied to the optimization of a whole structure in terms of basic structural characteristics like types of materials, dimensions of elements or profiles of steel bars.
