1. 1. Multifunctional Wood Polymer Composites Reinforced with Graphene Nanoplatelets : Investigating if multifunctionality can be achieved in wood polymer composites through the addition of graphene nanoplatelets

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Vanessa Meulenberg; [2019]
   Keywords : Wood polymer composites; graphene; multifunctional; wood flour;

   Abstract : Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were used to reinforce wood polymer composites (WPCs) in order to achieve multifunctionality. Multifunctionality could be achieved through the GNPs because of their excellent mechanical and electrical properties. The research consists of two parts: HDPE/GNP/WF composites and LLDPE/GNP composites. READ MORE

3. 2. Design of Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete Bridges : A Comparative Study to Conventional Concrete Bridges

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

   Author : Viktor Eriksson; [2019]
   Keywords : Bridge design; CO2 emissions; Mechanical properties and behaviour; Straight short steel fibres; UHPC; UHPFRC; Bro dimensionering; CO2 utsläpp; Korta raka stålfibrer; Mekaniska egenskaper och beteende; UHPC; UHPFRC;

   Abstract : The use of Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) in the construction industry started in the 1990s and has since then been used for bridges all over the world. The mechanical properties and the dense matrix result in lower material usage and superior durability compared to conventional concrete, but the implementation of UHPFRC in the Swedish industry has been delayed.

4. 3. Finite Element Modelling and Parametric Studies of Semi-Closed Thin-Walled Steel Polygonal Columns - Application on Steel Lattice Towers for Wind Turbines

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

   Author : Bona Ryan; [2017]
   Keywords : Lattice tower; Thin-walled element; Semi-closed polygonal section; Finite element analysis; Parametric study; Buckling; Python script; Matlab script; Eurocode 3; Factorial design;

   Abstract : The trend of structural engineering in the recent years is toward the use of lighter and moreeconomical structural elements. In steel construction, peculiarly, thin-walled structural elements arebecoming more popular and have a growing importance. READ MORE

5. 4. Suppressing Torsional Buckling Effects of Angle Members : Application on lattice towers

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och -produktion; Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

   Author : Savo Yahia Darwish; Richard Skog; [2017]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Wind towers are a today under a global development and many countries put more focus on this environmentally friendly way of producing electricity. The performance requirement increase and at the same time the wind towers should be economical. READ MORE

6. 5. Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with Side Near Surface Mounted FRP : A parametric study based on finite element analysis

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

   Author : Rewan Eredini; [2016]
   Keywords : Side near surface mounted reinforcement; Bottom near surface mounted reinforcement; Parametric study; FEM-analysis; Atena; Carbon fiber reinforced polymer;

   Abstract : Most of the today’s concrete structures are older than tenyears, and the need to strengthening existing structures is growing steadily. This is due to various reasons such as degradation due to ageing, environmentally induced degradation, poor initial design or construction and lack of maintenance, to name a few. READ MORE
