A Novel BESO Methodology for Topology Optimization of ‎Reinforced Concrete Structures: A Two-loop Approach

A new topology optimization methodology for reinforced concrete structures is proposed. The structures are optimized in two iterative loops, where different sensitivity criteria are used to determine the regions to be topologically optimized. For the first loop, the compliance criterion is used to d...
