Abstract:A common limitation in current material optimization methods for reinforced concrete structures is that they often concentrate solely on either the serviceability limit state (SLS) or the ultimate limit state (ULS). In response, this paper introduces a novel approach to optimize the material layout in planar reinforced concrete structures in plane stress, accounting for both limit states simultaneously. The proposed method employs an iterative strategy, integrating criteria for serviceability and ultimate limi… Show more
