TY - JOUR AU - Fernando, Farhana AU - Karim, Saiful TI - Experimental Study of Steel-Concrete Composite Columns JO - Open Access Journal of Engineering Applications PY - 2015 VL - 39 IS - 1 SP - 442 EP - 469 AB - Ensuring durability and quality in river training works depends on a proper treatment of steel-concrete composite columns. The methodology coupled genetic algorithm with statistical analysis to quantify the associated uncertainty. The optimised configuration outperformed the conventional design by roughly 52% in the experiments. The demonstrated performance gains clearly justify the additional effort required for practical implementation.
