  1. 6. Effects of cracking of coupling beams onhigh rise towers subjected to wind load

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Brook Worku Woldemikael; [2020]
    Keywords : Crack; reinforcement content; aspect ratio; shear deformation; joint flexibility; concrete grade; effective stiffness.; Sprickor; förstärkningsinnehåll; tvärsnittsförhållande; skjuvdeformation; ledflexibilitet; betongkvalitet; effektiv styvhet;

    Abstract : In high rise towers, reinforced concrete elevator shafts with coupling beams are extensively used as a principal structural element to resist lateral loads. The lateral load resistance of the tower is dominantly dependent on the stiffness of the load-bearing walls, and coupling beams connecting them. READ MORE

  3. 7. Lateral resistance of short piles near slopes - a review of calculation methods

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för bygg- och miljöteknologi

    Author : Tomas Jönebratt; [2020]
    Keywords : Lateral load capacity; Horizontal load capacity; Piles near slopes; Approximate design methods; Soil; Geotechnical engineering; Friction soil; Wind load; Ultimate limit state; Noise screens; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Vid konstruktion av bullerskärmar så väljs vanligtvis pålning som grundläggningstyp. Det finns flera modeller som kan approximera ett krav på minsta pållängd beroende på olika typer jordförhållande och vindlast. READ MORE

  4. 8. PMS Objekt vs ERAPAVE-ME : Design of pavement

    University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och design

    Author : Arash Borhani Khomami; Jonas Adel Pour; [2020]
    Keywords : PMS Objekt vs ERAPAVE-ME; PMS Objekt vs ERAPAVE-ME;

    Abstract : There are two types of superstructures in superstructure design, rigid and flexible. Rigid superstructures have higher load-bearing capacity than flexible superstructures. In Sweden, rigid superstructures are used for slow and heavy traffic roads such as bus stations and parking lots. READ MORE

  5. 9. Investigation and Development of the Design Process for a Pile Group with and without Lateral Resistance from the Soil

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för bygg- och miljöteknologi

    Author : Linda Johansson; Frida Liljefors; [2020]
    Keywords : pile group optimisation; objective function; frame analysis method; lateral resistance of the soil; pålgrupp; optimering; målfunktion; ramanalys; sidomotstånd från jord; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : For bridges in weak ground conditions, piling is an appropriate type of foundation. To manually arrange the piles in a pile group is an iterative, time consuming process where the section forces in the piles must be verified for a large number of load cases. READ MORE

  6. 10. Structural Assessment of the Glulam Arches at Stockholm Central Station

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Anders Naumburg; Kasper Krönlein; [2020]
    Keywords : Wood; Glulam; Glulam-arch; Hetzer system; Töreboda system; AB Fribärande träkonstruktioner; Curved I glulam cross-sections;

    Abstract : The purpose of this master’s thesis was to investigate if suspension of heavy objectsis possible in the glulam arches at Stockholm Central Station. The main goal was todetermine the arches’ load carrying capacity’s utility ratio, in order to give knowledgeif additional loading can be added. READ MORE
