Dataset of optimal reinforced concrete structural elements: Beam and column sections
Description
This repository houses a meticulously curated dataset of optimal reinforced concrete structural elements, specifically focusing on beam and column sections. The data is generated leveraging the Section-Based DataBase Schema (SBDBS) framework, a robust mechanism hosted on the Mendeley Data repository, dedicated to the creation of optimal reinforced concrete sections. The dataset extends a profound insight into the design parameters and load capacities of the optimal beam and column sections, encapsulating essential metrics like dimensions, number of rebars, moment capacities, and cost per meter. The tabulated design parameters and load capacities of optimal beam sections, showcasing a comprehensive blend of data ranging from dimensions (B, H) to load capacities (Mn+, Mu+, Mn-, Mu-) and cost. In a similar vein, the design parameters and load capacities of optimal column sections, provided a deep dive into the critical attributes of columns, hence offering a rich resource for both academic and practical endeavors in the realm of structural engineering. Moreover, this dataset serves as an indispensable asset for researchers, engineers, and decision-makers aiming to delve into cost-effective, robust, and optimized design of reinforced concrete structures. By offering a tangible glimpse into the optimal configurations, this dataset significantly contributes to advancing the narrative of structural optimization, fostering informed decision-making, and propelling forward the frontiers of structural design optimization.
