  1. 1. Numerical analysis of a bearing strength in delaminated composite joint

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Olavi Kukkonen; [2023]
    Keywords : Bearing strength; Single-lap shear; Delamination; Countersinking; Hole size;

    Abstract : Composite structures are commonly joined using adhesive or mechanical joints, withmechanical joints being preferred when components need to be removable for maintenancepurposes. However, the presence of mechanical joints introduces a discontinuity in theload path, which can serve as an initiation point for failure and needs to be taken intoaccount in the design of the joint.

  3. 2. EU Development Cooperation in MENA : Mainstreaming Gender In Media Development. Case study: Tunisia

    University essay from

    Author : Nabila Zayati; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Following the increasing recognition of the media’s considerable potential to achieve gender equality and women’s empowerment, different media development interventions have been launched to fuel development cooperation efforts structured around a North-South binary. However, the dynamic interplay of forces behind these efforts puts the effectiveness and sustainability of their results into question. READ MORE

  4. 3. Assessing the safety of cracked concrete dams

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Abdelsamad Mohamed Osman Fadul; [2021]
    Keywords : Buttress dams; Concrete; Global stability; Design criteria; RIDAS; Sliding; Overturning; Finite element analysis; Progressive failure analysis;

    Abstract : AbstractThe overall safety of dams depend on several stipulations. One of them is global stability of the dam, which is addressed with approaches like that in (RIDAS, 2017) (the Swedish power companies’ guidelines for dam safety). When designing a new dam, two global failure modes; sliding and overturning should be considered according to RIDAS. READ MORE

  5. 4. Numerical simulations of shear reinforced concrete beams subjected to blast loads

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Anton Frank; Andreas Fristedt; [2021]
    Keywords : Numerical simulations; shear reinforcement; blast loads; dynamic shear failure; Numeriska simuleringar; tvärkraftsarmering; luftstötvåg; dynamiskt skjuvbrott;

    Abstract : Historical accidents and experimental investigations have made apparent that blast loaded concrete members are prone to fail in brittle shear rather than a ductile flexure mode. Air blasts from accidental detonations or explosives may cause severe damage to buildings and infrastructure and it is of great importance that load carrying members can withstand the impulse that arise to avoid progressive collapses.

  6. 5. Analysis of progressive collapse in single-story buildings affected by local fire

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : Tim Hedlund; [2020]
    Keywords : Progressive collapse; Catenary force; Local fire; Steel buildings; Finite element analysis;

    Abstract : When a building is exposed to fire, it is required to remain structurally stable for a period of time. The regulations do however allow some types of localised failures within this time frame. READ MORE
