Static behavior of reinforced UHPFRC beams with minimal cover thickness

Eugen Brühwiler, Bartlomiej Wojciech Sawicki

Because of its high tensile strength and deformation capacity, UHPFRC (Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious composite) can theoretically be used without any reinforcement bars or prestressing. However, for more economical design and for rea ...

Variance-Reduced Stochastic Learning by Networked Agents Under Random Reshuffling

Ali H. Sayed, Bicheng Ying, Kun Yuan

This paper develops a distributed variance-reduced strategy for a collection of interacting agents that are connected by a graph topology. The resulting diffusion-AVRG (where AVRG stands for "amortized variance-reduced gradient") algorithm is shown to have ...

Spatial Risk Measures and Rate of Spatial Diversification

Erwan Fabrice Koch

An accurate assessment of the risk of extreme environmental events is of great importance for populations, authorities and the banking/insurance/reinsurance industry. Koch (2017) introduced a notion of spatial risk measure and a corresponding set of axioms ...

Exact Diffusion for Distributed Optimization and Learning-Part I: Algorithm Development

Ali H. Sayed, Bicheng Ying, Kun Yuan

This paper develops a distributed optimization strategy with guaranteed exact convergence for a broad class of left-stochastic combination policies. The resulting exact diffusion strategy is shown in Part II of this paper to have a wider stability range an ...

On Establishing Buckling Knockdowns for Imperfection-Sensitive Shell Structures

Emmanuel Georges Albert Virot

This paper investigates issues that have arisen in recent efforts to revise long-standing knockdown factors for elastic shell buckling, which are widely regarded as being overly conservative for well-constructed shells. In particular, this paper focuses on ...

A 2D typology generator for historical masonry elements

Katrin Beyer, Shenghan Zhang, Martin Hofmann

The mechanical response of stone masonry depends on the properties of the components and also on the typology created by the stone units and the mortar joints. While the influence of the component strength on masonry is relatively well studied, few studies ...
