Optimisation of shear and lateral-torsional buckling of steel plate girders using meta-heuristic algorithms
(Mdpi, 2020)
The shear buckling of web plates and lateral-torsional buckling are among the major failure modes of plate girders. The importance of the lateral-torsional buckling capacity of plate girders was further evidenced when ...
Harmony search optimisation of dispersed laminated composite plates
(Mdpi, 2020)
One of the major goals in the process of designing structural components is to achieve the highest possible buckling load of the structural component while keeping the cost and weight at a minimum. This paper illustrates ...
Explainable ensemble learning models for the rheological properties of self-compacting concrete
(MDPI-Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2022)
Self-compacting concrete (SCC) has been developed as a type of concrete capable of filling narrow gaps in highly reinforced areas of a mold without internal or external vibration. Bleeding and segregation in SCC can be ...
Performance of optimum tuned PID controller with different feedback strategies on active-controlled structures
(MDPI-Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021)
In this study, multi-story structures with different combinations (on each floor and only the first floor) of active tendon control systems driven by a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller were actively ...
Optimal dimensioning of retaining walls using explainable ensemble learning algorithms
(MDPI-Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2022)
This paper develops predictive models for optimal dimensions that minimize the construction cost associated with reinforced concrete retaining walls. Random Forest, Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Categorical Gradient ...
Optimization and predictive modeling of reinforced concrete circular columns
(MDPI-Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2022)
Metaheuristic optimization techniques are widely applied in the optimal design of structural members. This paper presents the application of the harmony search algorithm to the optimal dimensioning of reinforced concrete ...
Metaheuristic algorithms in optimum design of reinforced concrete beam by investigating strength of concrete
(2020)
The locations of structural members can be provided according to architectural pro-jects in the design of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. the design of dimensions isthe subject of civil engineering, and these designs ...
Novel metaheuristic-based tuning of PID controllers for seismic structures and verification of robustness
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021)
In the present study, an active structural control using metaheuristic tuned Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) type controllers is presented. The aim of the study is to propose a feasible active control application ...
The effect of SSI and impulsive motions on optimum active controlled MDOF structure
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021)
In this study, active controlled ten-story structures including soil-structure interaction (SSI) are investigated under different type of ground motions (near-fault and far ground motions) defined in FEMA P-695 to show the ...
Buckling analysis and stacking sequence optimization of symmetric laminated composite plates
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021)
Symmetric laminated composite plates are frequently used in structural design due to their high strength to weight ratio. The stacking sequence of these laminates is known to have a major impact on the performance of these ...
