Cost optimization of composite beams using genetic algorithms
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2009 , Article)
This paper presents a genetic algorithm model for the cost optimization of composite beams based on the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) specifications of the AISC. The model formulation includes the cost of concrete, ...
Proposed formulas for estimating splitting tensile, shear and flexural strengths, and long term deflection assessment of self-compacting concrete elements
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2017 , Article)
This paper investigated the splitting tensile and shear strengths and the modulus of rupture of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) elements with fly ash, micro silica and polycarboxylate ether superplasticizer for various ...
Use of Mathcad as a teaching and learning tool for reinforced concrete design of footings
(
John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
, 1999 , Article)
Owing to their nature, numerous and complex equations are commonly used in the design of reinforced concrete structures. This is because of the nature of reinforced concrete design. Mathcad, which possesses efficient ...
