Nonlinear Behavior of Northlight Reinforced Concrete Shells
The behavior of northlight shells is very sensitive to the boundary conditions at the top and bottom edges of the shell. The aim of this paper is to investigate the structural action of...
Study on Reinforced Concrete Cylindrical Shells with Edge Members under Impact Loading
The strength, cracking patterns and the other nonlinear dynamic behaviors of reinforced concrete roof-type circular cylindrical shells influenced by edge member stiffness and supporting...
Optimization for Earthquake Loads
Structural optimization for seismic loads can be approached from a deterministic or nondeterministic point of view. Deterministically, the major difference between optimization of statically...
