Abstract This paper develops a model to obtain the optimum cost of the cantilever retaining walls having different cases of backfill satisfying the stability criteria, according to the height and properties of earth that the wall is required to support. Chaotic Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (CICA) is utilized to find the economical sections as the output after minimizing the cost for sections adhering to provisions of ACI 318-05. The CICA, one of the recently developed meta-heuristic algorithms utilizes imperialism and imperialistic competition process combined with chaos theory as a source of inspiration. Cost design problem of cantilever retaining walls is tested using the new method and the results are compared to those of other algorithms. In addition, a detailed sensitivity analysis for selected design variables, parameters and related safety factors will be presented.
