Abstract: Cylindrical tanks are commonly used in water and sewage treatment plants. These tanks are usually built of cast-in-place concrete with flat or conical bases to facilitate the treatment process. The design codes specify ...

Abstract: A practical and powerful technique for the discrete representation of reinforcement in finite element analysis of prestressed and reinforced concrete structures is presented. Isoparametric quadratic and cubic finite elements ...

Abstract: The linear elastic behavior of frames with nonprismatic members is investigated by using isoparametric plane stress finite elements. It is determined that the conventional methods of analysis for these types of structures ...
