  1. 16. Weight reduction of concrete poles for the Swedish power line grid : Using a Finite Element Model to optimize geometry in relation to load requirements

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Jenny Bülow Angeling; [2017]
    Keywords : Keywords: FE-model; Finite Element model; Concrete damage plasticity; Fracture mechanics; Fracture energy; Pole;

    Abstract : Because of an eventual ban of creosote-impregnated products, alternative materials for poles used in the electrical grid are needed. Concrete is one alternative and spun concrete poles have been manufactured for the Swedish grid before. These poles are still in use since the high strength and good functioning. READ MORE

  3. 17. Increased Traffic Loads on Swedish Highway Bridges : A Case study of the bridge at highway interchange Värö

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

    Author : Fredrik Forsberg; [2017]
    Keywords : BRIGADE Standard; Concrete slab frame bridge; FEM; Load carrying capacity calculation; Load carrying capacity class; BRIGADE Standard; Bärighetsberäkningar; Plattrambro; FEM; Bärighetsklasser;

    Abstract : The Swedish government is planning to increase the maximum vehicle gross load regulations on parts of the national roads from the present 60 t, for the load carrying capacity class BK1, to 74 t, for the proposed new load carrying capacity class BK4. The initial implementation of the new load carrying capacity class for 74 t vehicles will only regard major highways and important roads, however, at a later stage the plan is to implement the new BK4 class on the full current BK1 road network.

    Abstract : This report analyzes fire extinguishing solutions that might cut time between fire alarm and fire extinguishing at the European Spallation Source. A special design fire with a very high peak heat release rate is used. READ MORE

  5. 19. Studies on the performance of firefighter’s gas cooling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Matthias Van De Veire; [2016]
    Keywords : Fire; Engineering; Gas cooling; Firefighting; fire service; suppression; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Gas cooling is a technique used within the fire service to reduce the risks of the hot gaseous layer and create a better visibility. It is achieved by applying water into the gaseous layer. Successfully performing or implementing this technique is something that has not yet been accomplished in every brigade. READ MORE

  6. 20. A Simulation of the Millau Viaduct

    University essay from KTH/Mekanik

    Author : Cathrina Bergsjö; Marcus Pettersson; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cable-stayed bridges have become very popular over the last ve decades due totheir aesthetic appeal, structural eciency, the limited amount of material usageand nancial benets. The rapid increase of new techniques creating longer spans,slender decks and more spectacular design has given rise to a major concern ofthe dynamic behavior of cable-stayed bridges. READ MORE
