A new genetic algorithm-based framework for optimized design of steel-jacketing retrofitting in shear-critical and ductility-critical RC frame structures
Fabio Di Trapani, Antonio Pio Sberna and Giuseppe Carlo Marano Abstract Design of seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete (RC) structures compares structural safety on the one hand, and costs on the other. Steel-jacketing (SJ) is a very common and effective retrofitting technique, used to provide additional ductility and shear capacity to concrete members. However, its […]
Optimal preliminary design of variable section beams criterion
Raffaele Cucuzza, Marco Martino Rosso and Giuseppe Carlo Marano Cucuzza, R., Rosso, M.M. & Marano, G.C. Optimal preliminary design of variable section beams criterion. SN Appl. Sci. 3, 745 (2021). https://doi.org/10.1007/s42452-021-04702-5 Abstract The present paper discusses about optimal shape solution for a non-prismatic planar beam. The proposed model is based on the standard Timoshenko kinematics hypothesis (i.e., planar […]
