  1. 1. CFD Analyses for Wind Load AssessmentCFD Analyses for Wind Load Assessment : Wind-induced vibrations in the Bomarsunds Bridge hangers

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Fatiha El Azrak; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The trend in recent years of building longer and slender bridge components has introduced new challenges to ensure their stability and strength. This master thesis focuses on the effects of wind-induced vibrations in the context of long, slender arch bridge components, particularly the recently constructed Bomarsunds Bridge in Åland, Finland.

  3. 2. A parametric study of the static and dynamic performance of timber arch footbridges with different hanger configurations

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : ALEJANDRO GARCÍA GARCÍA; [2022]
    Keywords : Arch bridges; footbridge dynamics; critical load; bridge typology; parametric study;

    Abstract : The influence of the hanger configuration in the arch and deck bending moments under asymmetric loads is widely used nowadays for improved designs of arch bridges. In this work, by means of a parametric study, those hanger configurations that most efficiently increase both the natural frequencies and buckling factors are identified, simultaneously evaluating the dynamic and static performance of timber arch footbridges.

  4. 3. A pre-study of the dynamic behavior of a single diagonal timber arch bridge

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Xiaoqi Wang; Shufan Ye; [2020]
    Keywords : : single diagonal arch bridge; timber bridge; footbridge; finite element analysis; resonance induced vibration; bridge dynamics; dimensional analysis;

    Abstract : The aim of this Master’s thesis was to study the dynamic behaviour of a special type ofpedestrian timber bridge with a single diagonal arch - a design proposal made in a previousstudent project. The bridge is intended to be built as a gateway to the Alfred Nobel’s Björkbornin the municipality of Karlskoga. READ MORE

  5. 4. Numerical and experimental dynamic analyses of Hägernäs pedestrian bridge : Including seasonal effects

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : AIDA IBISEVIC; HASANHÜSEYIN UGUR; [2019]
    Keywords : Pedestrian Timber Arch Bridge; Seasonal Effect; Modal Analysis; Dynamic Analysis; Finite Element Method; Experiments vi;

    Abstract : Wood as a construction material has in recent years increased, in particular concerningpedestrian bridges. By utilizing wood, the ecological footprint can be reduced,and the material can be designed to comply with the increasing aesthetic demandbridge designers are facing. READ MORE

  6. 5. Numerical and experimental dynamic analyses of the Vega Pedestrian bridge including seasonal effects

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : John Hallak Neilson; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : As timber structures become increasingly relevant and sought after – since they enable improvements in building time while reducing a structure’s life cycle impacts – streamlining their design can have meaningful economic and environmental implications.For timber footbridges, its design is frequently governed by serviceability criteria linked to excessive vibrations.
