1. FE-Modelling of Composite Girder tests
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : Many of the existing steel-concrete bridges may need to be strengthened, as heavier vehicles areallowed on the Swedish roads. These bridges could possibly be strengthened by post-installingshear connectors. The shear connectors may enhance the load-bearing capacity through a higherdegree of composite action between the steel and concrete interface. READ MORE

2. Strengthening of non-composite bridges by Partial Composite Action
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : A common bridge type is the steel-concrete bridge where the concrete deck is built over steel girders. In many earlier designs the bridge type was often built as non-composite, which means that the concrete deck and the steel girder has no shear connection at the steel-concrete interface and therefore bend as individual components.

3. FE modeling of glulam beams with mechanical slotted-in steel plate connections.
University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)Abstract : The mechanical behavior of timber beams with a slotted-in steel plate connection is studied by creating a numerical model that is able to simulate the global bending behavior, the global load carrying capacity and the nonlinear plastic fastener force distribution in the connection. Experimental results from Material Testing Institute (MPA), University of Stuttgart were used to verify the simulation results from this study. READ MORE

4. Non-Linear FE-Analysis of a Composite Action Girder with Coiled Spring Pins as Shear Connectors
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : For bridges to cope with increased requirements such as increased loads, strengthening work can be carried out. In cases where older steel-concrete bridges do not have a composite action, an alternative is to create composite-action to achieve a higher flexural strength. It is introduced by post-installing shear connectors. READ MORE

5. Achieving Composite Action in Existing Bridges : With post-installed shear connectors
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : The increased amount of traffic combined with higher traffic loads leads to many existing bridges needing strengthening in the future to ensure their expected lifespan. This means the bridge owners will be focusing more on strengthening projects and smart solutions will be crucial for preserving a healthy bridge stock. READ MORE
