Abstract: A reliability-based analysis of the bearing capacity of strip footings considering the spatial variability of undrained shear strength of clay was performed using the random FEM. The effect of anisotropic correlation of ...

Abstract: Parallel algorithms for optimization of structures reported in the literature have been restricted to shared-memory multiprocessors. This paper presents a distributed genetic algorithm for optimization of large structures ...

Abstract: The implementation of distributed algorithms for the finite-element analysis of structures developed in a 1995 paper by Adeli and Kumar is presented here. A common class of object-oriented data structures has been developed ...

Abstract: Genetic-algorithm (GA)–based structural optimization can be parallelized to a high degree on new generation of scalable distributed-memory multiprocessors. In this paper, a mixed computational model is presented for GA-based ...

Abstract: We present distributed algorithms for the finite-element (FE) analysis of large structures on a loosely coupled multicomputer such as a cluster of inexpensive workstations. The focus is on the development of a coarse-grained ...

Abstract: A reliability-based analysis of the bearing capacity of strip footings considering the spatial variability of undrained shear strength of clay was performed using the random FEM. The effect of anisotropic correlation of ...

Abstract: This research paper illustrates the application of a new liner leak detection technique which uses the concept of electrical resistivity to detect leakages in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. Liner leakage was simulated ...
