Discussion: Some tests on the yield criterion for a reinforced concrete slab

Some Studies on Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Fibres are generally used as resistance of cracking and strengthening of concrete. In this project, I am going to carry out test on steel fibre reinforced concrete to check the influence of fibres on flexural strength of concrete. According to various research papers, it has been found that steel fibres give the maximum strength in comparison to glass and polypropylene fibres. Hence, in this pr...

A COMBINATION OF PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION AND MULTI-CRITERION DECISION-MAKING FOR OPTIMUM DESIGN OF REINFORCED CONCRETE FRAMES

Structural  design  optimization  usually  deals  with  multiple  conflicting  objectives  to  obtain the minimum construction cost, minimum weight, and maximum safety of the final design. Therefore, finding the optimum design is hard and time-consuming for  such problems.  In this paper, we borrow the basic concept of multi-criterion decision-making and combine it with  Particle  Swarm  Optimi...

Earthquake Loss Estimation for Reinforced Concrete Buildings: Some Problems

Capacity spectrum procedures developed for the assessment and strengthening of existing buildings have become the basis of methods for estimating potential post-earthquake losses which are today widely used in the insurance industry, and for urban risk mitigation programmes. The areas to which these methods are applied often contain (or largely consist of) reinforced concrete apartment building...
