  1. 1. Simulations of experimental crack development in ceramic material with notched specimen

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Clas Dahlin; [2022]
    Keywords : Solid Mechanics; Fracture mechanics; Ceramics; Dynamics; Ballistics; Hållfasthetslära; Brottmekanik; Keramer; Dynamik; Ballistik;

    Abstract : Low-density armour often uses ceramic materials, as their high compressive strength and relatively low weight make the material ideal for moving in the field. The ballistic protection works by redirecting the plastic flow of the projectile radially, which reduces penetration. READ MORE

  3. 2. Reinforcement Layout in Concrete Pile Foundations : A study based on non - linear finite element analysis

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Mohammad Mustafa Angar; [2020]
    Keywords : Pile cap; Nonlinear finite element analysis; ATENA 3D; Reinforcement layout; Strut and tie method; Pålfundament; icke-linjära finita elementmodeller; strut and tie-metoden;

    Abstract : The main topic of this thesis concerns the behavior of concrete pile cap supported by four piles with two varying positions of longitudinal reinforcements. The positions include top of piles and bottom of the pile cap. For this purpose, non-linear finite element models of a pile cap are created using software ATENA 3D. READ MORE

  4. 3. Experimental Tests of Pre - placed Aggregate Concrete for Concrete Repairs

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Husseen Hassan; Abdifatah Sahal; [2020]
    Keywords : Shrinkage; Compressive strength; Splitting tensile strength; Freeze-thaw; resistance; Pre-placed aggregate concrete; PREPAC; Slag; Krympning; Tryckhållfasthet; Spräckhållfasthet; Frostbeständighet; Injekteringsbetong; PREPAC; Slagg;

    Abstract : Since a large part of the hydropower structures in Sweden was built in the 1950s and 1960s, many of them are slowly but surely exhibiting deterioration. The hydropower companies are facing big challenges and are consequently investing in effective repairing methods since a hydropower structure failure could pose serious consequences and dangers to people, the environment, and the community.

  5. 4. Determination of Shrinkage Crack Risks in Industrial Concrete Floors through Analyzing Material tests

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Maitham Hamad; [2012]
    Keywords : Industrial concrete floors; laboratory tests; crack risk; free shrinkage; restrained shrinkage; creep;

    Abstract : The industrial concrete floor is a very important part of an industrial building, distribution center, storage or shopping mall, and it must have high quality surfaces for operation. To achieve the high quality we must know the problems and how to treat them. READ MORE

  6. 5. Modelling of strengthened connections for large span truss structures

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

    Author : Peter Kobel; [2011]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Because of its large ratio between strength and weight timber is a material very suitable for large span structures. For large spans of more than about 30 m, usually truss structures are adopted. READ MORE
