1. FE-Modelling of Composite Girder tests
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : Many of the existing steel-concrete bridges may need to be strengthened, as heavier vehicles areallowed on the Swedish roads. These bridges could possibly be strengthened by post-installingshear connectors. The shear connectors may enhance the load-bearing capacity through a higherdegree of composite action between the steel and concrete interface. READ MORE

2. BODY NORMATIVITY AND THE HYPER(IN)VISIBILITY OF ABJECT BODIES Living with Oppression in the Body Liberation Movement
University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för kulturvetenskaperAbstract : In feminist studies that attempt to theorize embodiment, fat bodies have largely been ignored and excluded from research even though scientific knowledge on weight-based stigma and discrimination shows the importance of studying fatphobia as a system of oppression. Hence, this thesis provides an analysis on the lived experience of fat bodies in relation to body normativity and visibility politics. READ MORE

3. Strengthening of non-composite bridges by Partial Composite Action
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : A common bridge type is the steel-concrete bridge where the concrete deck is built over steel girders. In many earlier designs the bridge type was often built as non-composite, which means that the concrete deck and the steel girder has no shear connection at the steel-concrete interface and therefore bend as individual components.

4. Dustiness Testing and Particle Characterization of CNT-enhanced Concretes
University essay from Lunds universitet/Ergonomi och aerosolteknologiAbstract : The introduction of fibers into concrete is a common way of reinforcing the mechanical properties and preventing cracking. The fibers act as bridges between the composite components and help reduce the porosity. Today, micrometer-sized fibers are widely used, but there is an increased interest in using smaller fibers e.g. READ MORE

5. Cost optimization of composite bridges
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : Today in most design offices the practice when designing infrastructure is to adopt a trial-and-error based approach. This means that one solution to the problem is evaluated and based on the results the design is altered. This process is then repeated until satisfactory results have been achieved. READ MORE
