Structural robustness assessment of concrete frames considering membrane action effects Ghent University
One way to increase the structural robustness is to take into account membrane action effects in beams and slabs. This membrane action generates an additional load transfer to neighbouring supports, which can considerably increase the load-carrying capacity of the member under consideration. However, the effect of membrane action on commonly used robustness indicators is still unknown. In previous contributions of the authors, a numerical model ...
The combined influence of paste volume and volumetric water-to-powder ratio on robustness of fresh self-compacting concrete Ghent University
Robustness assessment of 1-D electron paramagnetic resonance for improved magnetic nanoparticle reconstructions Ghent University
The impact of reserve duties on the robustness of a personnel shift roster: an empirical investigation Ghent University
Optimizing robustness in geometric routing via embedding redundancy and regeneration Ghent University
Improving the β-precision and OWA based fuzzy rough set models: definitions, properties and robustness analysis Ghent University
Since the early 1990s, many authors have studied fuzzy rough set models and their application in machine learning and data reduction. In this work, we adjust the beta-precision and the ordered weighted average based fuzzy rough set models in such a way that the number of theoretical properties increases. Furthermore, we evaluate the robustness of the new models a-beta-PREC and a-OWA to noisy data and compare them to a general ...
Improving the robustness of fresh self-compacting concrete using small quantities of fine additions Ghent University
Although the use of self-compacting concrete has many advantages compared to vibrated concrete, its application in Europe is mainly limited to the precast industry. The onsite use of self-compacting concrete is hampered by a higher material cost, higher formwork pressures, and a reputation for ‘unpredictability’: self-compacting concrete has a higher sensitivity to small deviations in the properties and proportions of its ingredients. This paper ...
Life-cycle robustness : prospects and challenges Ghent University
Life-cycle robustness is achieved when a structural member or a whole system is designed to maintain its intended function and required safety level within its desired life-cycle. The different characters of effects that each element will need to undergo (damage, ageing, extreme events, changes in usage) in conjunction with the diversity in the intrinsic material properties, form a demanding problem. Further complexity emerges when one realises ...
