Optimization of the bending stiffness of beam-to-column and column-to-foundation connections in precast concrete structures
Abstract This work involved the structural optimization of precast concrete rigid frames with semi-rigid beam-to-column connections. To this end, several frames were simulated numerically using the Finite Element Method. Beams and columns were modeled using bar elements and their connections were mo...
