  1. 1. Recycling methods for glass fibre-reinforced plastic polymers : Glass fibre composites in a circular economy?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Hanna Karlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Composites; Glass; Fibre; Reinforced; Recycling; Circular economy; Circularity; Reinforcement; Plastic; Polymer; End-of-life; Reuse; Waste; Materials Chemistry; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The reinforced composite industry is expanding. This raises the need for more sustainable resource use and waste management. A concept to combat both is circularity, creating a loop between the raw resources and the waste. Two important parts of circularity are recycling and reusing. READ MORE

  2. 2. Glass-fibre reinforcement on steel to timber connections. : A parametric study through FEM modelling on double-shear single-dowelled connections.

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Ramón Merlo García; [2017]
    Keywords : Timber connection; Glass-fibre reinforcement; Parametric study; Finite element analysis.;

    Abstract : In a context where timber is gaining popularity as a building material and glass-fibre reinforced composites (GFRC) are becoming more accessible in a wide variety of formats, it is considered appropriate to reconsider the combination of these two materials. Additionally, given the increasing use of laminated timber elements where stiffness and strength are better controlled, attention is drawn back to the connection between elements. READ MORE

  3. 3. Analysis of Ferrocement and Textile Reinforced Concrete for Shell Structures

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : Mile Bezbradica; [2015]
    Keywords : textile reinforced concrete; shell structures; ferrocement; FEM; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The purpose of this master’s thesis is to investigate the stiffness properties of three reinforcement materials for concrete shell structures: ferrocement, glass-fibre textile and carbon-fibre textile. Three types of strategies were used to analyse the properties of the materials, an analytical model, experimental beam prototypes and a numerical analysis. READ MORE
