Computer-Aided Plastic Limit Analysis of Plates

Abstract:

This article reports on a new tool for optimized design of reinforced concrete plates based on the yield-line theory. The primary focus is on the development of a computer program which can analyze arbitrary yield-line systems with one degree of freedom. The program includes a GUI for quick and intuitive input, and automatically performs analysis of yield-line systems regardless of the complexity of their analytical solution. Furthermore, optimization of orthotropic reinforcement is implemented. The possibility of yield-line analysis of systems with multiple degrees of freedom by linear programming is examined.
