CONFIGURATIONAL FORCES IN STRUCTURAL AND CONTINUUM OPTIMISATION [PDF]
, 2008 This thesis deals with optimisation using the principles of continuum mechanics. Both shape and mesh optimisation will be covered. A unified approach will be introduced to obtain shape and mesh optimisation for hyperelastic, hyperelastodynamic and ...

Three‐parameter kinematic theory for shear assessment of reinforced concrete short columns
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This work presents a rational kinematics‐based model for assessing the shear capacity of rectangular reinforced concrete short columns. Due to their high stiffness and brittleness, short columns are particularly vulnerable to seismic forces, often exhibiting critical failures.

TRUSS, a European innovative training network dealing with the challenges of an aging infrastructure network [PDF]
, 2018 Inspections and maintenance of infrastructure are expensive. In some cases, overdue or insufficient maintenance/monitoring can lead to an unacceptable risk of collapse and to a tragic failure as the Morandi bridge in Genoa, Italy, on 14th August 2018. An

Influence of shear reinforcement detailing on the shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Alternative shear reinforcement layouts that do not fully enclose the longitudinal tensile reinforcement can significantly improve the constructability of reinforced concrete (RC) members. However, their influence on shear transfer mechanisms is not yet fully understood. To address this gap, an experimental program comprising 10 shear tests on

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Current design provisions for punching shear in foundations, including Eurocode 2 (2023) and fib Model Code 2020, are mechanically based models partly calibrated against experimental data from isolated flat slabs and foundation specimens. The available experimental database for foundations is small and only partly representative of realistic ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents a regression‐based methodology to estimate the Torsional Stiffness Reduction Factor (TSRF) of reinforced concrete beams under combined torsion and shear. A numerical database of 6816 samples was generated using the Combined Action Softened Truss Model (CA‐STM) implemented in Python, considering design guidelines prescribed ...

High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ice accumulation on transmission lines poses a persistent threat to grid stability, yet precise technical guidance for the dynamic response during ice shedding under wind loads remains insufficient. In response to this issue, this study uses C++ to create a calculation program and obtains aerodynamic coefficients of ice‐covered conductors with
