1. 1. Weight reduction of concrete poles for the Swedish power line grid : Using a Finite Element Model to optimize geometry in relation to load requirements

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

   Author : Jenny Bülow Angeling; [2017]
   Keywords : Keywords: FE-model; Finite Element model; Concrete damage plasticity; Fracture mechanics; Fracture energy; Pole;

   Abstract : Because of an eventual ban of creosote-impregnated products, alternative materials for poles used in the electrical grid are needed. Concrete is one alternative and spun concrete poles have been manufactured for the Swedish grid before. These poles are still in use since the high strength and good functioning. READ MORE

3. 2. Simulation of vehicle impact into a steel building : A parametric study on the impacted column end-connections

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Stefan Cravotta; Emanuele Grimolizzi; [2015]
   Keywords : vehicle impact; FE model; Abaqus Explicit; steel structure; bolt preload;

   Abstract : Understanding the true behaviour of impacted structures is the only way to assess their robustness under exceptional events such as vehicle collision. The primary objective of this master’s thesis was to perform a finite element parametric investigation on the influence that some parameters have in steel buildings subjected to vehicle impacts.
