1. Parametric optimization of reinforced concrete slabs subjected to punching shear
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : The construction industry is currently developing and evolving towards more automated and optimized processes in the project design phase. One reason for this development is that computational power is becoming a more precise and accessible tool and its applications are multiplying daily. READ MORE

2. Punching shear in concrete flat slabs supported on slender edge steel columns
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : Punching shear is a failure mechanism caused by concentrated loads, creating a crack pattern that resembles a cone shape or piece of pie starting from the top surface of the slab and prolongs downwards. When the total shear force is greater than the shear resistance of the slab, it may eventually lead to punching shear failure. READ MORE

3. The effect of pre-stressing location on punching shear capacity of concrete flat slabs
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : Implementing pre-stressing cables is a viable option aiming at controlling deformation and cracking of concrete flat slabs in serviceability limit state. The pre-stressing cables also contribute to punching shear capacity of the slab when they are located in vicinity of the column. READ MORE

4. Comparison of Punching Shear Design Provisions for Flat Slabs
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : Abstract A new generation of EN 1992-1-1 (2004) also known as Eurocode 2 is under development and currently there is a set of proposed provisions regarding section 6.4 about punching shear, PT1prEN 1992-1-1(2017). It was of interest to compare the proposal with the current punching shear design provisions. READ MORE

5. Non-Linear Assessment of a Concrete Bridge Slab Loaded to Failure
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : This thesis covers an investigation regarding the failure in the bridge slab of Gruvvägsbron, which was the result of the full scale test that the bridge was subjected to prior to demolition. Using the non-linear finite element software ATENA 3D, a model of the bridge was assembled, with the purpose to attempt to reenact the test procedure and realistically capture the failure load and behaviour.
