It is currently shown that metaheuristic methods can also be used in the analysis of structural system by an application of the well-known mechanical principle of minimum energy. This method is called total potential optimization using metaheuristic methods (TPO/MA), and it is shown that this method has certain advantages in dealing with nonlinear problems and with the problems where classical methods including the Finite Element Method has some difficulties. In this paper, a retaining wall example that is generated via plane-strain members is presented and hybrid algorithms using the Jaya algorithm are investigated. The hybrid algorithms may have advantages on the needed iteration number to reach the final value. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHybrid algorithmsMetaheuristicsOptimizationStructural analysisTPO/MAConference Object10.1007/978-3-030-93247-3_532-s2.0-85122513181545Q4536371
