10th East Asia-Pacific Conference on Structural Engineering and Construction: Materials, Experimentation, Maintenance and Rehabilitation (EASEC-10) [PDF]

, 2006
This paper presents the performance-based optimization of strut-and-tie models in reinforced concrete beam-column connections. The performance-based optimization (PBO) technique is employed to investigate optimal strut-and-tie models in reinforced ...

Perforation Enhances Sound Insulation in Plate Lattice Metamaterials

Small, EarlyView.
Herein, perforations are engineered into face‐centered cubic plate lattice metamaterials to convert normally detrimental openings into acoustically active features. Experiments, finite‐element analyses, and a reduced‐order transfer‐matrix model show that selected perforation geometries activate Helmholtz‐like and cavity‐mediated resonances, enhancing ...

Linguistic Patterns and Antipatterns Detection and Their Impact on Understandability and Readability of APIs

Software: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Application programming interfaces (APIs) help distributed systems and microservices to expose their functionalities and serve as a means for communication among them. Understandability and readability of APIs are important for effectively comprehending and using APIs.

GENERATING STRUT-AND-TIE MODELS USING CONTINUUM AND DISCRETE TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION [PDF]

, 2017
. Strut-and-tie models are largely used as an auxiliary tool in the design of reinforced concrete (RC) components with low shear span-to-depth ratio, such as deep beams, corbels,pile caps or joints.

Experimental results and limit load analysis by the strut-and-tie method (STM) in deep beams with notches and openings [PDF]

Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais
This article presents experimental results of eight non-aligned, non-geometrically symmetrical deep beams with notches and openings. The variables considered in the study were the presence of web reinforcement, and the geometry of the deep beams.

Structural capacity of precast concrete walls with openings: A parametric study on connection types and reinforcement ratios

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The structural role of precast concrete walls with openings is often overlooked in design practice due to concerns about reduced stiffness, stress concentration, cracking around openings, and potential unexpected failure modes under seismic loading.
