1. 1. CLIMATE-SMART CONCRETE APPLIED ON A SLAB FRAME BRIDGE

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Sabina Dal; Sandra Raheb Khalo; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This study examines alternative actions that are applied to an existing structure in Stockholm in order to reduce the global warming effect, in the form of carbon dioxide emissions. The structure consists of a slab frame bridge with belonging piles in the foundation, of which the building material is reinforced concrete with two different concrete types, namely concrete type C35/45 and concrete type C50/60.

3. 2. Reinforced Concrete Structures Subjected to Imposed Deformations: A Study of Cracking due to Shrinkage in Slab Foundations for Residential Houses

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

   Author : Henrik Johansson; Martin Heinegård; [2020]
   Keywords : Reinforced concrete structures; nonlinear finite element analysis; crack widths; imposed deformations; shrinkage; foundation slabs; fracture mechanics; Atena 2D; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The need for limiting crack widths in reinforced concrete structures is due to durability, tightness towards gaseous and liquid substances, and for aesthetic reasons. Although concrete cracks at relatively low tensile stresses and can not be avoided, strategies for crack control can be adopted to meet the requirements. READ MORE

4. 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

5. 4. Nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete slab on partially softening ground : Ickelinjär analys av armerad betongplatta på delvis uppmjuknande grund

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Yang Zhou; [2017]
   Keywords : Reinforced concrete slab foundation; Nonlinear analysis; FEM;

   Abstract : Reinforced concrete slabs are a conventional type of foundation that is widely used in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. Most of the slab foundations are constructed directly on the ground without another structural medium in between and some of the slabs are therefore influenced by ground softening. READ MORE
