Details of the comparison between the initial design and optimal design.
| Model | Differential settlement (m) | Differential stress (MPa) | Section A-A | Section B-B | Section A-A | Section B-B |
| Initial design | 0.0104 | 0.0097 | 1.86 | 1.74 | Different diameters (F) | 0.0019 (82%) | 0.002 (79%) | 0.82 (56%) | 0.51 (71%) | Different spacing (F) | 0.0016 (85%) | 0.0016 (84%) | 0.44 (76%) | 0.47 (73%) |
