  1. 1. Optimization of Material Cost and Carbon Footprint of Flat Reinforced Concrete Slabs with Simple Steel Piles : Designed according to Eurocode and Swedish appendix EKS

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Oskar Lönn; [2023]
    Keywords : Optimization; RC slab; Material cost; API;

    Abstract : When designing reinforced concrete (RC) slabs with steel piles various variables must be considered, from the internal force to the distance of piles. An endless number of designs are possible, leaving space for optimizing designs. READ MORE

  3. 2. Structural strengthening and sustainability improvements of existing buildings – A case study

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Pardis Niknafs; [2022]
    Keywords : Building retrofit; structural strengthening; energy efficiency; environmental impact; integrated and sustainable intervention; cross-laminated timber; life cycle assessment;

    Abstract : In Sweden, a large share of residential buildings was built more than 50 years ago. Consequently, old materials, poor maintenance, and corrosion can affect the structural performance of these buildings. Additionally, these buildings do not meet the latest energy efficiency and Eurocode regulations. READ MORE

  4. 3. Investigation of methods to analyse global stability of a reinforced concrete stabilising core

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Evelina Husak; Ellinor Persson; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Ensuring the structural stability of a building is an evident requirement for the building to be safe to use. This becomes a qualified task for a structural engineer. Ensuring stability has become especially important nowadays while stabilising elements often are kept to a minimum and tall buildings are common. READ MORE

  5. 4. Concrete reinforced with FRP rebars : Evaluation of durability and behaviour in the Service Limit State (SLS)

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : David Ottosson; [2021]
    Keywords : GFRP; Durability; SLS; Atena;

    Abstract : One of the most common building materials is concrete and it has been for a long time. To overcome its low tensile capacity concrete structures are normally reinforced with steel rebars. READ MORE

  6. 5. Parametric optimization of reinforced concrete slabs subjected to punching shear

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Sofia Thuresson; [2020]
    Keywords : Parametric design; Optimization; Punching shear; Concrete; Flat slab; Eurocode 2; Shear reinforcement; Genetic algorithm; Visual programming; Dynamo.; Parametrisk design; Optimering; Genomstansning; Betong; Pelardäck; Eurocode 2; Tvärkraftsarmering; Genetisk algoritm; Visuell programmering; Dynamo.;

    Abstract : The construction industry is currently developing and evolving towards more automated and optimized processes in the project design phase. One reason for this development is that computational power is becoming a more precise and accessible tool and its applications are multiplying daily. READ MORE
