Abstract

The present work presents the application of the ISR analogy (Idealized Smeared Reinforcement) for the optimization of reinforced concrete frames, focusing fully on the reinforcement of its elements. A disclosure of the ISR analogy applied to different concrete structural elements [...]

Abstract

The present work exposes the design of optimization procedures both with the “Particle Swarm Optimization” (PSO) algorithm and the “Genetic Algorithm” (GA) for the design of reinforced concrete frames, making comparisons in cost, weight of the structure [...]

Abstract

In the present work the development and application of an optimal design process for reinforced concrete frames is exposed, taking on account optimal distributions of reinforcing bars in the structural elements under free-clash and slap [...]
