This paper presents the performance-based optimization of strut-and-tie models in reinforced concrete beam-column connections. The performance-based optimization (PBO) technique is employed to investigate optimal strut-and-tie models in reinforced concrete beam-column connections. Developing strut-and-tie models in reinforced concrete beam-column connections is treated as a topology optimizatio...

Based on the experimental study for seismic performance of FRP reinforced concrete beam-column joints, two-storey two-span plane frames were taken for examples, in which the static elastoplastic analysis (the pushover method) was carried on the joints of the FRP strengthened concrete frames, and then the comparative analysis was made on seismic performance of RFP strengthened frame structure th...

In reinforced concrete structures, the beam-column connection area has a considerable influence on behavior of structure. The use fiber-reinforced polymer FRP to strengthen connections in Reinforced structure can be one solutions transform this area, thus improving structure, which is achieved through carbon achieve high-strength Investigations have been conducted using finite element modeling....

The design of the steel frame structure for beam, column, and beam-column elements usually takes several iterations to obtain optimum results that are safe, efficient, economical. problems arise due number iteration process basis this research. research was conducted on 100 sections IWF HCS which consisted 81 19 HCS. analysis carried out regarding SNI 1729:2015. study in form moment capacity gr...
