Finite element analysis and optimization of bonded post-tensioned concrete slabs

Optimization techniques may be effective in finding alternative design of post-tensioned slabs to improve their mechanical behaviour, particularly reducing the bending moments. Post-Tensioned (PT) concrete one-way slabs are one of the widely used slabs because of their good performance and cost effe...
