Multilevel Formwork Load Distribution with Posttensioned Slabs

SLAB FORMWORK DESIGN USING GENETIC ALGORITHM Formwork design using GA

A method to design cost-optimum slab formwork components is proposed in this paper. Genetic Algorithms (GAs), a technique based on the principles of natural selection and evolution, is applied to solve the optimisation problem. GAs search from a population of possible solutions limited by a set of constraints. The cost of form components and labor involved, were considered for the formulation o...

Estimation of Evolution of Relative Humidity Distribution for Concrete Slabs

Realistic prediction of concrete shrinkage and creep requires the calculation of the distributions of relative humidity at various times. Although the distributions of the relative humidity can be computed by numerical methods from the differential equation for diffusion, simple prediction formulas can facilitate structural analysis. The purpose of this paper is to present a simple formula for ...

Multilevel Load Balancing in NUMA Computers

Reducing load distribution overhead with message aggregation

The current best effort approach to Quality of Service in the Internet can no longer satisfy a diverse variety of customer service requirements, because of which there is a need for alternative strategies. A promising approach for dealing with this problem is a method called Load Distribution Scheme (LDS) which dynamically adjusts traffic load at the network boundary based on feedback from the ...
