  1. 11. Spectral density approach for dynamic analysis of high-speed railway bridges

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Alket Ciku; Vlad Gavriliuc; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The focus of this thesis is to introduce the concept of train signature in the spectraldensity approach used in the dynamic analysis of simply-supported railway bridges.Due to the increased transportation demands, longer trains with higher axles loadsand top speeds are being developed.

  3. 12. Cracking and Fatigue in the Prestressed Concrete Bridge at Autio

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : Kasper Andersson; Jon Leidzén; [2022]
    Keywords : Fatigue; Cracking; Prestressed Concrete Bridge; Rainflow;

    Abstract : In early 2020, cracks were discovered on the bridge crossing the Torne River at Autio. This resulted in an investigation being launched to determine the structural state of the bridge. READ MORE

  4. 13. Composite timber structures – Ribbed plate design : Evaluation of existing and development of new design methods

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Cristoffer Mård; [2022]
    Keywords : Ribbed plates; CLT; gamma-method; Timoshenko-method; shear analogy-method; FE-models; RFEM; Abaqus;

    Abstract : Ribbed plates comprising cross-laminated timber slab, CLT, with glulam beams allow for increased span length compared to pure CLT slabs. At the moment the Eurocodes do not provide any recommendations to design a CLT plate or a ribbed plate. There are handbooks for designing ribbed plates. READ MORE

  5. 14. A comparative evaluation of hydrostatic pressure and buckling of a large cylindrical steel tank designed according to EN14015 and according to the Eurocodes

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Musole Kambita; [2022]
    Keywords : Cylindrical steel tanks; yield strength; carbon steel; high strength steel; design load; buckling; stiffening rings; Finite Element Method FEM ; Linear Elastic Bifurcation LBA ; and Geometrically and Materially Nonlinear Analysis with Imperfections GMNIA .;

    Abstract : Above ground steel storage tanks are used worldwide for the storage of various liquids. EN 14015:2005, which has traditionally been used to design the tanks, does not necessarily fulfil the requirements of the Swedish Building Code. READ MORE

  6. 15. Structural strengthening and sustainability improvements of existing buildings – A case study

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Pardis Niknafs; [2022]
    Keywords : Building retrofit; structural strengthening; energy efficiency; environmental impact; integrated and sustainable intervention; cross-laminated timber; life cycle assessment;

    Abstract : In Sweden, a large share of residential buildings was built more than 50 years ago. Consequently, old materials, poor maintenance, and corrosion can affect the structural performance of these buildings. Additionally, these buildings do not meet the latest energy efficiency and Eurocode regulations. READ MORE
