Topology optimization of reinforced concrete beams by a spread-over reinforcement model with fixed grid mesh
For this investigation, topology optimization was used as a tool to determine the optimal reinforcement for reinforcedconcrete beam. The topology optimization process was based on a unit finite element cell with layers of concrete and steel.The thickness of the reinforced steel layer of this unit ce...
