  1. 6. Complex Stress States In Structural Birch Plywood : An experimental study on the behaviour of birch plywood in structural applications

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Patrik Hedlund; Pontus Persson; [2021]
    Keywords : large-span-structures; trusses; truss nodes; timber connections; engineered wood products; birch plywood; glued connections; dowelled connections; gusset plates;

    Abstract : For structural engineers, the two most important design criteria are utility andsafety. It is about making sure that a structural component is reliable enough not toendanger any of a building's users, while at the same time being as sustainable andefficiently designed as possible.

  3. 7. Design of column bases concerning bending and shear nibs

    University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och design

    Author : Rodi Kay; [2021]
    Keywords : Column bases; Pelarfötter;

    Abstract : The purpose of the thesis is to find out how to design column bases with conventional methods presented by European standards and codes, but above all from the Steel Construction Institute's handbook on structural joints and compare it with finite element analyses. However, today there are no good instructions for how column bases exposed to multiaxial bending should be designed, where assumptions based on structural mechanics also was compared with computer tools.

  4. 8. FE modeling of glulam beams with mechanical slotted-in steel plate connections.

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Musaab Mahjoub; [2021]
    Keywords : Timber joints; Slotted-in steel plate connections; Python scripting; FEM; Abaqus.;

    Abstract : The mechanical behavior of timber beams with a slotted-in steel plate connection is studied by creating a numerical model that is able to simulate the global bending behavior, the global load carrying capacity and the nonlinear plastic fastener force distribution in the connection. Experimental results from Material Testing Institute (MPA), University of Stuttgart were used to verify the simulation results from this study. READ MORE

  5. 9. Numerical and experimental study of light-frame shear walls

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Rajan Maharjan; Mohamad El Rachid; [2019]
    Keywords : wood; shear wall; FEM analysis; ABAQUS; experiment; stiffness; racking deformation;

    Abstract : In recent time, some of the construction processes of multi-storey timber buildings are achieved by using prefabricated volume modules since this method is very beneficial due to its high prefabrication level and the fast on-site assembly of the modules. The main structural component of these modules is a light-frame shear wall that stabilizes these modules from the effect of horizontal forces. READ MORE

  6. 10. 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
