  1. 1. Optimization of Material Cost and Carbon Footprint of Flat Reinforced Concrete Slabs with Simple Steel Piles : Designed according to Eurocode and Swedish appendix EKS

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Oskar Lönn; [2023]
    Keywords : Optimization; RC slab; Material cost; API;

    Abstract : When designing reinforced concrete (RC) slabs with steel piles various variables must be considered, from the internal force to the distance of piles. An endless number of designs are possible, leaving space for optimizing designs. READ MORE

  2. 2. RC Trough Bridges: A Parametric Study using FEM and an Analysis of their Current State

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : David Åkergren; [2021]
    Keywords : concrete; trough bridges; parametric study; FEM; BaTMan; ATENA; load eccentricity; compressive strength; tensile strength;

    Abstract : There are approximately 4000 railway bridges in Sweden managed by the Swedish Administration of Transport (Trafikverket), of which a common construction type is the reinforced concrete (RC) trough bridge, which is a structure that consists of a slab carried by two longitudinal main beams which transfer loads towards the supports. A substantial amount of the RC trough bridge population is approaching the end of their service lives which consequently implies that the replacement of some of these bridges can be expected in the near future.

  3. 3. Parametric Optimization of Foundation Improvements with RC Slabs on Piles

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Oliver Kling; Nils Dahlman; [2019]
    Keywords : Parametric Design; Parametric Optimization; Concrete Structures; Reinforced Concrete; Foundation Improvements;

    Abstract : Parametric design has proven to be a powerful tool for structural engineers to find innovativesolutions to complex problems more effectively compared to conventional methods. Theflexibility off parametric design is immense since all types of structures depend on a range ofparameters that can be isolated, controlled and altered. READ MORE
