Topological optimization procedure considering nonlinear material behavior for reinforced concrete designs
Marcela Bruna Braga França , Marcelo Greco , Ricardo Morais Lanes , Valério Silva Almeida
Abstract
The search for new structural systems capable of associating performance and safety requires deeper knowledge regarding the mechanical behavior of structures subject to different loading
conditions. The Strut-and-Tie Model is commonly used to structurally designing some reinforced concrete elements and for the regions where geometrical modifications and stress concentrations are observed, called
