The method accounts for the effects of viscosity, and due to its low computational... Read More about A new non-linear vortex lattice method : applications to wing aerodynamic optimizations.

A new mitigation scheme to resist progressive collapse of RC structures (2016)
Journal Article
Alogla, K., Weekes, L., & Augusthus Nelson, L. (2016). A new mitigation scheme to resist progressive collapse of RC structures. Construction and Building Materials, 125, 533-545. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2016.08.084

Reinforced concrete structures may be vulnerable to progressive collapse due to lack of sufficient continuous reinforcement. In most guidelines, general structural integrity requirements to reduce progressive collapse have been introduced, but the de...
