Abstract: Particle swarm optimization–based finite-element (PSO-FE) method is introduced for the designs and analyses of the steel–concrete composite beams. After a brief explanation of the PSO-FE theory, the optimizations of shear ...

Abstract: High-performance concretes without steam curing have great potential to improve crack resistance in the hogging-moment regions of continuous steel–concrete composite beams. This paper conducts experiments to investigate ...

Abstract: In this paper, we conduct a systematic dynamic investigation of partial-interaction composite beams under various sophisticated loading conditions that have seldom been presented in the literature. For the purpose of easy ...
