Evaluation and optimisation of regular RC frame structures of varying heights with graphene oxide by David Dominguez-Santos, Pedro Muñoz Velasco

“…In this research, regular frame structures in plan and elevation of three, eight and 15 storeys are analysed, with proportions of steel equal to 2.5% in the columns and 4% in the beams. Optimisation of the structural sections of the frames using GO concrete, in which the ultimate strengths of the structures with traditional concrete are matched, gives reductions in the amount of concrete in the sections of between 10 and 13%, with the greatest reductions in the highest structures.…”
