Behaviour of fibre reinforced concrete slabs

This paper presents a comparison of the properties of concrete slabs when two types of fibres are added. One specimen had no fibres and acted as a control specimen. The remaining four specimens had steel and polypropylene fibres added in the volumetric ratio of 0.5% and 1.0%. The dimensions of the slab specimens were 820×820×80 mm and were supported by four rollers at their edges. A displacemen...

PREDICTION OF BIAXIAL BENDING BEHAVIOR OF STEEL-CONCRETE COMPOSITE BEAM-COLUMNS BY ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK

In this study, the complex behavior of steel encased reinforced concrete (SRC) composite beam–columns in biaxial bending is predicted by multilayer perceptron neural network. For this purpose, the previously proposed nonlinear analysis model, mixed beam-column formulation, is verified with biaxial bending test results. Then a large set of benchmark frames is provided and P-Mx-My triaxial ...

Reinforced Concrete Columns in Torsion (RESEARCH NOTE).

ACT does not suggest any regulations for columns under torsion. However, by all means, the number of such columns used in steel and concrete structures is abundant. In this paper, using the results of laboratory tests on 35 square and rectangular columns with intermediate slender ratios, relations for determination of torsional strengths of reinforced concrete under axial compression have been ...

Bending and Torsion Minimization of Toroidal Loops

We focus on an optimization problem on parameterized surfaces of genus one. In particular we trade off the penalty functions for bending a toroidal path and for applying a twist to it and aim to find local minima of this cost function. This analysis forms a key element in demonstrating the different regular homotopy classes of tori. A generalization of this surface optimization, which considers...
