The responsibility of structural engineer is to produce safe and economical designs. The primary responsibility of producing safe design is achieved easily because of Codes have standardizes and plenty of design software are available to carry out analysis and design without committing any numerical mistakes. Design refers not only to safe but economical design also. However to give more emphasis on the economy aspect in the design over normal design, the term optimum design has to be designed has to be coined. Application of optimization for civil engineering is for various designs of structures like beams, slab,columns, foundation, frame, trusses etc. Optimization algorithms became popular in engineering design activities, as a designer or decision maker can derive the best way for maximum benefits from available sources. In many software optimization techniques have been developed such as MATLAB, NAG, MOSEK, NMATH etc. In this paper, study had been carried out for performance of linear programming and pattern search optimization technique using MATLAB optimization tool box for structural optimization of one-way slab. Result is compared for both techniques.
