An Analysis of the Quality of Repeated Plate Load Tests Using the Harmony Search Algorithm by Kook-Hwan Cho, Sungho Mun

“…The results of RSPLTs depend on the experience and expertise of the engineer carrying out the test, as well as the loading device, hydraulic jack assembly, and bearing plates. To identify outlier data points, well-tested data were used to develop a characteristic function model using a harmony search algorithm error minimization technique. …”

Flexural Behaviour of RC Beams Strengthened with Prestressed CFRP NSM Tendon Using New Prestressing System by Woo-tai Jung, Jong-sup Park, Jae-yoon Kang, Moon-seoung Keum, Young-hwan Park

“…Therefore, the present study applies a new prestressing system which reliefs the need to wait until the curing of the filler after jacking to the prestressing of NSMR and examines the effect of the prestressing size and location of the anchorage on the strengthened behaviour. …”
