Surveys on the optimum seismic design of structures reveal that many investigations focus minimizing initial costs while satisfying performance constraints. Although reducing complying with earthquake codes significantly ensures occupant safety, it may still cause considerable economic losses and fatalities. Therefore, calculating potential damages over structure’s lifetime is essential from an optimal Life-Cycle Cost (LCC) perspective. LCC analysis evaluates feasibility, including construction, operation, occupancy, maintenance, end-of-life costs. The population-based, meta-heuristic Ideal Gas Molecular Movement (IGMM) algorithm has proven effective in solving highly nonlinear mono- multi-objective engineering problems. This paper investigates LCC-based a 3D four-story concrete building structure using Endurance Time (ET) method, which employed for its efficiency estimating structural responses under varying hazard levels. novelty this work lies integrating ET method IGMM to comprehensively address both criteria design. results indicate proposed technique reduces minor injury costs, rental income by 22%, 16%, respectively, achieving total reduction 10% all Costs, considered significant.
