Cracking safety evaluation on gravity concrete dams during the construction phase
(1998)The cracking phenomenon in concrete gravity dams during the construction phase is analysed in this work. Stresses due to the self-weight of the dam, thermal gradients, creep and drying shrinkage are computed, taking into ... -
Reliability based optimization of laminated composite structures using genetic algorithms and artificial neural networks
(2011)The design of anisotropic laminated composite structures is very susceptible to changes in loading, angle of fiber orientation and ply thickness. Thus, optimization of such structures, using a reliability index as a ...
