Abstract: The Principle of Asymptotic Proportionality, which is based on the Green’s function method for equilibrium problems, is proposed. Using this principle, the induced far-field variable due to any ...

Abstract: This paper presents an automated optimal design method using a hybrid genetic algorithm for pile group foundation design. The design process is a sizing and topology optimization for pile foundations. The objective is to ...

Abstract: In order to meet the emerging trend of performance-based design of structural systems, attempts have been made to develop a multiobjective optimization technique that incorporates the performance-based seismic design ...

Abstract: Contemporary tall buildings with increasing height and slenderness are highly sensitive to the actions of wind. The structural design of modern tall buildings is generally governed by the need to provide adequate strength ...

Abstract: This paper presents a combined study of wind tunnel experiment and numerical simulation of the wind-induced pressures on the long-span roof of the Hangzhou East Railway Station Building. Wind tunnel tests were performed on a

Abstract: Recent trends towards developing increasingly taller and irregularly-shaped buildings imply that these complex structures are potentially more responsive to wind excitation. Making accurate predictions of wind loads and ...

Abstract: Study on the mitigation of debris flows and rockfalls is a very challenging topic due to complex moving and impacting mechanisms. A large-scale physical model is preferred by researchers in the study of debris flow and ...
