Effect of yield penetration on column plastic hinge length

Megalooikonomou, K. G.; Tastani, S. P.; Pantazopoulou, Stavroula J. (2018)

The required confined zone in critical regions of columns and piers undergoing lateral sway during earthquakes is related to the plastic hinge length where inelastic deformation and damage develops. The exact definition ...

Experimental investigation on the confining effect of fibers in SHFRCC

Georgiou, A. V.; Pantazopoulou, Stavroula J. (2017)

Strain Hardening Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (SHFRCC) comprise of a mix design that differs from normal concrete mixes. Fibers act as mass reinforcement leading to large deformation capacities, bridging of the ...

Multiagent reinforcement learning with spiking and non-spiking agents in the iterated prisoner's dilemma

Vassiliades, Vassilis; Cleanthous, A.; Christodoulou, Chris C. (2009)

This paper investigates Multiagent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) in a general-sum game where the payoffs' structure is such that the agents are required to exploit each other in a way that benefits all agents. The contradictory ...
