This work presents a generalization and enhancement of a previously developed
computational strength reduction design method (SRDM) for the design of complex …

The book covers the application of numerical methods to reinforced concrete structures. To
analyze reinforced concrete structures linear elastic theories are inadequate because of …

Including recent research advancements on the applicability and robustness of methods and
models for the analysis of complex concrete, reinforced concrete and/or pre-stressed …

The ultimate limit state design of reinforced concrete members usually derives from the
analyses of structural models composed of unidimensional or bidimensional elements (bar …

The design of reinforced concrete structures starting from a linear analysis is allowed by
design codes and leads to safe solutions. The structural model built for the analysis may be …

Reinforcement in a concrete structure is often determined based on linear elastic stresses.
This paper considers computation of the required reinforcement when these stresses have …

A generalized genetic algorithm has been developed to find the global optimal
reinforcement contents for a concrete solid structure subjected to a general three …

The use of the finite element method in the design of reinforced concrete slabs and beams
has become a generally accepted practice in recent times and when designing structural …

The development of computing capacities in finite element modelling has led to the
possibility of modelling complex three-dimensional concrete structures, such as those in …
