C. Starting Solution
Starting solution is nothing but initial point where solver
begins its search for a minimum value between this ranges.

MATLAB Programs
Objective Function
function f=objfun(x)
f = (x(1)*x(2) - x(3))*0.008 + x(3)*0.43175;
end
Constraints
function [c,ceq]=confun(x)
c = [-8*(x(1)*x(2) - x(3)) - 278.05*x(3) + 7.5*10^5;
-0.06 + x(3)/(x(1)*x(2));
Objective Function
-x(3)/(x(1)*x(2)) + 0.008];
end
X1 = b = width of column
X2 = d = depth of column
X3 = Asc = Area of longitudinal reinforcement for
column
0.008 = Cc = Cost factor for concrete
0.43175 = Cs = Cost factor for steel
