2. Assessment of Ground Vibration for Early-Stage Design
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : Ground borne vibrations in urban areas can be caused by human activities such as railwayand road traffic, construction works and industrial manufacturing. These vibrations can playa significant role in human comfort and the disruption of vibration sensitive equipment inbuildings. READ MORE

3. Refined model for calculating the dynamic amplification factor for road bridges
University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaperAbstract : The objective of the thesis is to simulate and evaluate vehicle-bridge interaction (VBI) due to road surface irregularities and soil-structure interaction (SSI) with different vehicle models and suspension properties. Parameter studies will be carried out for integral and slab bridges. READ MORE

4. Soil-Structure Interaction Analysis of Portal Frame Railway Bridges : Numerical Analysis of Two Case Study Bridges
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : This thesis concerns dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) analysis of portal framerailway bridges. Dynamic problems are common for bridges used for high speedrailway traffic. The passing trains induce harmonic loads on the bridges causingvibration amplitudes that may cause damage to the bridge structures and userdiscomfort. READ MORE

5. VERTICAL ELLIPTICAL ACCESS-SHAFTS Geometrical optimisation through FE-modelling
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geoteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaperAbstract : Urbanisation is causing densification of cities and more and more facilities are being placed in the underground to utilise the urban space as efficiently as possible. Access to the underground is obtained by constructing vertical access shafts. READ MORE
