Shape Optimization of Hollow Concrete Blocks Using the Lattice Discrete Particle Model
Hollow concrete blocks are one of the widely used building elements of masonry structures in whichthey are normally loaded under combined action of shear and compression. Accordingly and due to theirstructural importance, the present study intends to numerically search for an optimum shape of such b...
