Prestressed concrete containment vessel act as a reliable leak tight barrier during the accident conditions. There is a growing demand to study nonlinear behavior of containment structure under severe accident loads in depth. This paper presents nonlinear finite element analysis of prsestressed concrete containment vessel under severe accident load...

Thin laminated composite conoidal shell roofs are popular among civil engineers due to its stiff, singly ruled and aesthetically appealing geometry. Such surfaces may undergo large displacements under transverse static overloading. Since no researchers reported failure of laminated conoids using nonlinear strains the authors aim to fill the void in...

The axial compression test of concrete with different initial cracks under hydrostatic pressure is carried out. The fracture propagation is analyzed based on the bearing state as well as the apparent phenomena of the specimens, and the failure modes and morphologies are further elaborated. The test results show that with the increase of the hydrost...

The composite wall made of the cold-formed thin-walled steel has good shear performance. When it is used in buildings, its weak part is located at the joint of floors and becomes the first broken part under the action of the earthquake. The shear test of five Two-storey Composite Cold-formed Thin-walled Steel Walls (TCS) under cyclic loading has be...

Two-third of cultivated land in India is monsoon dependent, due to global warming and the El Niño and La Niña phenomenon, an uncertainty loom occurs around monsoon which necessitates more irrigation periods. The conventional method for conveying irrigation water from the source to field is through open canals in the country causing huge losses in p...

The calculation of factor of safety and the determination of the critical slip surface (a slip surface with the minimal factor of safety) are essential steps in stability analysis of soil slopes. In this study, a genetic simulated annealing algorithm (GSA), which combines the genetic algorithm and the simulated annealing algorithm, is proposed to q...

In order to find a more effective intelligent method for truss optimization, we proposed an improved bat algorithm and introduced it into truss optimization. The initial population was optimized by using the good point set weighted approach in bat optimization formula. Individuals with high fitness were retained and individuals with low fitness wer...
