  1. 11. Dynamic analyses of hollow core slabs : Experimental and numerical analyses of an existing floor

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Markus Hansell; Panagiotis Tamtakos; [2020]
    Keywords : Hollow core slab; Structural dynamics; Signal analysis; Mode shape; Frequency response function; Complex mode; FE-model; Håldäcksbjälklag; Strukturdynamik; Signalanalys; Modform; Frekvenssvar; Komplex mod; FE-modellering.;

    Abstract : For intermediate floors in residential and office buildings, as well as in parking garages and malls, there is a wide use of hollow core concrete slabs in Sweden today. Hollow core slabs are precast and prestressed concrete elements with cylindrical-shaped voids extending along the length of the slab. READ MORE

  3. 12. Analysis of a Prefabricated Concrete Skew Angle Slab Bridge

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Pär Bengtsson; Johan Wallin; [2019]
    Keywords : Finite Element Model; Skew Angle Slabs; Slab Bridge; Prefabrication;

    Abstract : Prefabricated concrete elements are widely used in the construction industry today. With advantages such as time savings, increased safety at the construction site and minimized material usage, prefab becomes a major challenger to the traditional on-site casting construction method.

  4. 13. Linear and non-linear FE-analysis of cracking behavior of wing walls in integral bridges

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

    Author : Andreas Ekman; Christoffer Sandin; [2018]
    Keywords : Non linear FE-modelling; Concrete Damage Plasticity; Wing wall; Crack propagation; Serviceability Limit State; Slab Frame Bridge; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Wing walls on slab frame integral bridges has traditionally been designed for mainly earth pressure and its self-weight. It has also been designed separately from the rest of the bridge. Traditionally no 3D effects have been considered in the design of the wing walls. READ MORE

  5. 14. Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Shrinking Reinforced Concrete Slabs-on-ground

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Shruthi Prakash; [2018]
    Keywords : Slabs-on-ground; Gradient shrinkage; Statical indeterminate structure; Vertical deflection and Cracking;

    Abstract : Concrete slabs-on-ground are commonly used in many types of industrial floors, warehouses, highways, parking lots and buildings. Cracks and deflection of slabs are undesired events caused by differential shrinkage, which limits the service life of the slabs. READ MORE

  6. 15. Distribution of stresses and displacements in skewed concrete slabs

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Eman Ismail; [2017]
    Keywords : Skew Slab; Finite Element Analysis; FEM; slab behavior;

    Abstract : A 3D nonlinear finite element analysis was developed for simulating the behavior of skewed concrete slabs and to identify the response of the slab with different angles and element sizes. The purpose of this research is helping the engineering and construction industry to utilize the FEM study and results more in different structural applications. READ MORE
