1. 1. Cracking in a slender concrete slab due to thermal variation

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Johan Mattsson; Fredrik Åman; [2019]
   Keywords : Concrete slab; Concrete; Finite element analysis; Cracking; Thermal variation; Seasonal temperature; Abaqus; Brigade Plus; Betonggrund; Betong; Finit element analys; Sprickbildning; Termiska laster; Omgivningstemperature; Abaqus; Brigade Plus;

   Abstract : Concrete slabs used in thepulp and paper industries are often situated outdoors, which means that theslabs are exposed to temperature variations due to different weatherconditions. These temperature variations together with operational temperaturesassociated with the manufacturing process, may introduce high temperaturegradients in the concrete. READ MORE

3. 2. A novel platform to quantify crack formation due to root water uptake

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Author : Susanne Alexandersson; [2019]
   Keywords : soil structure dynamics; root water uptake; crack formation; automatized imaging system;

   Abstract : Soil structure play an important role for a productive and sustainable agriculture. It controls many processes in the soil and has a great impact on soil functions and related ecosystem services. Plants play an important role in soil structure dynamics. READ MORE

4. 3. Simulation of Hardening of the MahanaKhon Tower Mat Foundation

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Zakaria Kazi-tani; [2019]
   Keywords : Hydration; MahanaKhon tower; mat foundation; young concrete; temperature development; thermal stresses; cracking; fly ash; finite element analysis; COMSOL Multiphysics; Hydratation; MahanaKhon tower; bottenplatta; ung betong; temperaturutveckling; termiska spänningar; sprickbildning; flygaska; finita elementanalys; COMSOL Multiphysics;

   Abstract : Cement hydration is the result of a series of simultaneous chemical reactions occurring during the production of concrete. An excessive amount of heat is generated, which consequently may give rise to thermal stresses and cause early age cracks in concrete that may affect its structural integrity, and load bearing capacity.

5. 4. Alternative methods to prevent thermal cracking in concrete

   University essay from

   Author : Alexander Barchin; Navid Sedighi; [2019]
   Keywords : Massive concrete structures; heat development; cement hydration; temperature reduction; cracking; fly ash; ice; coarse aggregates; cooling methods; practical tests.; Massiva betongkonstruktioner; värmeutveckling; cementhydrataion; temperaturreducering; sprickbildning; flygaska; is; grov ballast; kylningsmetoder praktiska försök.;

   Abstract : In the construction industry, concrete is the most common material, because of its good properties such as compressive strength and endurance. Concrete is a composition of several different materials where one of the main components is cement. When the hydration process starts, large amount of heat is generated. READ MORE

6. 5. Linear and non-linear FE-analysis of cracking behavior of wing walls in integral bridges

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

   Author : Andreas Ekman; Christoffer Sandin; [2018]
   Keywords : Non linear FE-modelling; Concrete Damage Plasticity; Wing wall; Crack propagation; Serviceability Limit State; Slab Frame Bridge; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Wing walls on slab frame integral bridges has traditionally been designed for mainly earth pressure and its self-weight. It has also been designed separately from the rest of the bridge. Traditionally no 3D effects have been considered in the design of the wing walls. READ MORE
