Stiffened plates are widely used in engineering due to their excellent manufacturing and mechanical properties. This paper introduces a novel method for designing stiffener plates that combines the ...

The use of local materials in architecture is becoming more and more important as there is a growing need to find new, sustainable construction methods that can help address the current climate crisis ...

Abstract: The truss structure optimization problem is of substantial importance in diverse civil engineering applications. The ultimate goal is to determine the optimal cross-section (bar) areas of ...

Purpose of present work is to develop a reliable and simple method for structural analysis of RC Shear Walls. The shear wall is simulated by a truss model as the bar of a truss is the simplest finite ...
