I have activated the minimum longitudinal reinforcement in RF-CONCRETE Members. Will this be displayed in the graphical display of the required reinforcement at the top or bottom? Answer If the calculation of the longitudinal reinforcement according to the standard is activated, the required reinforce...
In this paper, various cases of cross-sections of piers and foundations are examined analytically. The most fundamental conclusion of the paper is that the economy of choice is closely connected with the parameter of the mechanical ratio of the reinforcement of structural elements. Nevertheless, ...
[2,3] investigated the optimal cost design for a rigid raft foundation and circular isolated footings, taking into account the cost of concrete, cost of excavations, cost of backfilling works and cost of steel reinforcement based in the mathematical programming problem using Powell’s conjugate ...
