Parallel Computation for Linear Programming
In this paper, the basic Simplex algorithm is reexamined. Computational steps which can be done in parallel are identified, and a parallel version of the Simplex method is implemented...
Time Dependent Analysis of Partially Prestressed Composite Members
The object of the paper is to develop a computer based procedure for analysis of members made up of precast prestressed concrete sections with cast-in-place topping. The procedure accounts...
Application Examples of FEM to Concrete Structures
The paper illustrates the practical application of the FEM by means of examples for plain/reinforced/prestressed concrete structures. These examples, including both global and local analyses...

Gamma Exposure from Rn Progeny in GAC Units
An investigation into the gamma exposure rate generated by granular activated carbon (GAC) water treatment units focused on ten sites that covered a range of source radon (Rn) in water...
Fourier Series Expansion on Determination of Response Bound of Beam
Fourier series expansion is suggested to discrete the continuous vibrating system by regarding Fourier constants as generalized displacement parameters. The orthogonal merit to the terms...
A Family of Concurrent Algorithms for Transient Finite Element Solutions
We derive a family of methods for solving the equations of motion arising in structural dynamics which makes effective use of the architecture of concurrent computers. The algorithm is...
