  1. 1. Analysis of a Prefabricated Concrete Skew Angle Slab Bridge

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Pär Bengtsson; Johan Wallin; [2019]
    Keywords : Finite Element Model; Skew Angle Slabs; Slab Bridge; Prefabrication;

    Abstract : Prefabricated concrete elements are widely used in the construction industry today. With advantages such as time savings, increased safety at the construction site and minimized material usage, prefab becomes a major challenger to the traditional on-site casting construction method.

  2. 2. Distribution of stresses and displacements in skewed concrete slabs

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Eman Ismail; [2017]
    Keywords : Skew Slab; Finite Element Analysis; FEM; slab behavior;

    Abstract : A 3D nonlinear finite element analysis was developed for simulating the behavior of skewed concrete slabs and to identify the response of the slab with different angles and element sizes. The purpose of this research is helping the engineering and construction industry to utilize the FEM study and results more in different structural applications. READ MORE

  3. 3. Material properties of concrete used in skewed concrete bridges

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Ahmad Saad; [2016]
    Keywords : crack; skew slab; RCC slabs; fracture process zone; uniaxial compression test; uniaxial tension test; Brazilian splitting tension test; modelling linear behavior of concrete; bridges.;

    Abstract : This thesis has discussed both properties and geometry of concrete slabs used in bridges. It gave understanding on behavior of concrete in both tension and compression zones and how crack propagates in specimens by presenting both theory of fracture and performing concrete tests like tension splitting, uniaxial compression and uniaxial tension tests.
