1. 1. Size effects in shear force design of concrete beams

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

   Author : Axel Althin; Mårten Lippe; [2018]
   Keywords : reinforced concrete; shear force; size effect; small beams; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Shear failures in reinforced concrete beams are complex problems that depend on many different mechanisms, such as aggregate interlock and dowel effect. This makes the prediction of shear failures difficult as they are not strictly tied to the material and depend on other factors including the size of the beam. READ MORE

3. 2. Stress and Strength Analysis of Curved Glulam Beams With Box Cross-Section

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI); Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik

   Author : Erik Persson; [2008]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Glulam arches can be used when designing structures with large spans such as halls or arenas. Wood has low density compared to steel and concrete which keeps down the dead weight of the structure. The cross section of glulam arches is often built up as a box-section for efficiency reasons.
