Reinforced Concrete (RC) slab is the key structural component and is used in houses to provide flat surfaces (floors and ceilings). Concrete slabs are effective systems where putting columns interrupts the structure's (Audiences, parking lots, hotels, airports, etc.) serviceability to cover the lengthy spans. From the economic point of view the total cost optimization of RC slabs is very important issue and must be the prime concern of structural optimization in near future. In recent past, metaheuristic optimization algorithms have been applied to many structural problems, and RC slabs are no exception as a result a number of articles on RC slabs optimization have been published. This paper presents firstly presents a brief overview of four type of slabs (Simply Supported, One-end Continuous, Both-end Continuous, and Cantilever), then describes the optimization algorithms and finally presents a review of some of the recent literatures related to the RC slab optimization.
