Soil-concrete interface properties subjected to temperature changes and cycles using direct shear tests
(
American Society of Civil Engineers Library (ASCE Library)
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Geothermal foundations (energy piles) combine the structural function of deep foundations with the ground source heat exchangers to transfer geothermal energy to superstructures. The intermittent operation of the geothermal ...
Structural topology optimization considering complexity
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
As topology optimization is a free-form approach to optimizing structural layout, it has a tendency to design structures that are topologically complex. In large-scale structures, this complexity drives construction costs ...
