This paper discusses the application of the softened truss and strut and tie models on short beams. The softened truss model originally proposed by Hsu is based on three fundamental principles of mechanics of materials, i.e., stress equilibrium, strain compatibility, and constitutive laws of materia

This paper proposes an integrated approach to the modelling and optimization of structural control systems in tall buildings. In this approach, an artificial neural network is applied to model the structural dynamic responses of tall buildings subjected to strong earthquakes, and a genetic algorithm
## Abstract A mixed model of twoโdimensional (2โD) genetic algorithm and finiteโdifference timeโdomain is applied to the automatic design of ultra wideband (UWB) planar antennas in a finite size. The results illustrate that the method is valid and a new UWB antenna is designed successfully in the s
