A bridge vase pier parameter optimization method and system based on mixed integer programming
By using a hybrid integer programming-based parameter optimization method for bridge vase-shaped piers, a multi-objective optimization model is constructed and the global optimal solution is calculated. This resolves the contradiction between material usage and construction convenience in the design of vase-shaped piers, thereby shortening the design cycle and reducing costs.

AI Technical Summary
The design of key parameters for bridge vase-shaped piers is difficult to balance between the economy of material usage and the convenience of construction. Existing technical solutions result in long design cycles, a wide variety of templates, or increased costs.
A multi-objective optimization model based on mixed integer programming is constructed. Combining design cost and total construction cost, the global optimal solution is calculated using a mixed integer programming solver to optimize the parameters of the vase-shaped pier.
The key parameters of the vase-shaped pier were optimized globally, shortening the design cycle, reducing the types of construction formwork, lowering the total construction cost, and balancing the economy of concrete usage and the convenience of construction.
