We formalized the concept of a "minimum assumption credible design" (MACD) to leverage available local information (topography/bathymetry and existing infrastructure) and the essential engineering knowledge and required construction materials (i.e., a design cross-section template).
For design, cross-section slenderness parameters have been proposed and a set of classification limits in harmony with those given in Eurocode 3 for circular hollow sections (CHS) has been derived.
In this paper, we evaluate our recently designed "cross-section" method.
The method is a suitable non-destructive means for existing structures in cases where the section information is inadequate, or damages/repairs have altered the designed cross-section.
The Australian Standard AS 2327.1 on simply supported composite beams covers the analysis of cross-sections in positive bending, but there are currently no rules for designing cross-sections of continuous composite beams in negative bending.
The waveguide guiding characteristics related to eigen-frequencies and eigen-modes are critical factors determining the design performances pertaining to the bandwidth of appropriate response frequencies, and high performance electromagnetic waveguides can be obtained by designing cross-sections of waveguides that appropriately control such guiding characteristics at the conceptual design phase.
Vehicle trajectory provides a basis for classifying driving behaviors, highway horizontal alignments design, and cross section designs, and is also an indicator of road driving safety [1].
Our particular design is distinctly different from others in the number of fluidic ports (only 2 ports), channel design (circular cross section), and column type (open tubular).
This study presents the method to design the cross section of PCP or DHM with hypotrochoidal multilobe.
These results enable to design the cross section of PCP or DHM with multilobe of hypotrochoid which has the continuous and limited curvature.
The predictive model will be used in designing future cross section measurement experiments.
