Monitoring temperatures in structures during fires provides valuable information to 1) the firemen engaged in extinguishing it, 2) those who assess its security, and 3) the organizations who have to decide on its possible ...
[EN] This paper deals with the seismic column design of 35 elevated RC water storage tanks. Tanks comprise a top conic trunk reservoir, a column with variable hollow square cross-sections, and a shallow foundation on a ...
This paper represents an economic optimization of buttressed earth-retaining walls. We explore the optimum solutions using a harmony search with an intensification stage through threshold accepting. The calibration of the ...
