Castellated beam is formed by modifying a standard rolled beam through creating aregular pattern of holes in the web. The main goal of manufacturing these beams is to increase themoment of inertia and section modulus, which ...

In reinforced concrete design an important consideration that can be added to therequirements of strength and serviceability is ductility. This consideration is of importance todetermine the amount of redistribution of ...

This paper developed a new elastoplastic model for coarse-grained soils. Plasticpotential surface was established by solving a differential dilatancy equation, which is obtained viathe triaxial test results. This model ...

Earth retaining structures are referred to those structures which can control backfillheights that are just about to slide. Some examples of these structures are gravity and cantileverretaining walls. The cantilever retaining ...

Seismic performance evaluation of arch dams under different environmental conditionsis vital for the structural safety of the existing dams. In the present paper, effects of the reservoirwater in four different levels are ...

In this article, a model of anisotropic damage coupled to plasticity based onthermodynamics framework is proposed. This model is introduced to describe the plastic anddamage behavior of metals adequately. According to the ...
