1. Harmonised traffic load model between Eurocode 1 - part 2 (EN 1991-2) and TRV specifications : A pilot study on reinforced concrete portal frame bridges
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : The advancement of society has led to an increase in demand for infrastructure, particularly bridges, which are designed in accordance with different design codes. In Sweden, bridge design adheres to the Eurocode and national code (TRV specifications), with the most adverse scenario of the two codes determining the basis for bridge design. READ MORE

2. CLIMATE-SMART CONCRETE APPLIED ON A SLAB FRAME BRIDGE
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : This study examines alternative actions that are applied to an existing structure in Stockholm in order to reduce the global warming effect, in the form of carbon dioxide emissions. The structure consists of a slab frame bridge with belonging piles in the foundation, of which the building material is reinforced concrete with two different concrete types, namely concrete type C35/45 and concrete type C50/60.

3. Linear and non-linear FE-analysis of cracking behavior of wing walls in integral bridges
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för KonstruktionsteknikAbstract : 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

4. 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 naturresurserAbstract : 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.

5. Investigation of cracking due to restraint forces in Swedish concrete slab frame bridges
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för KonstruktionsteknikAbstract : When concrete slab frame bridges are designed with modern linear 3D FE-models large tensile restraint forces will arise in the transversal direction of the bridge from the temperature and shrinkage loads. These restraint forces are much larger than those that are accounted for in the older 2D models. READ MORE
