Abstract: A structural optimization algorithm based on an optimality criteria approach is presented for three‐dimensional, statically and dynamically loaded steel or reinforced concrete structures. The theoretical work is presented ...

Abstract: Using the finite element code, ABAQUS, along with user‐developed subroutines and experimentally derived material constants, an incremental construction analysis including thermal loads is performed on a pile‐founded ...

Abstract: A nonlinear incremental structural analysis including thermal loads was performed on a lock monolith in order to assess the effects of creep, shrinkage, adiabatic temperature rise, and construction procedures with respect ...
