16. A novel platform to quantify crack formation due to root water uptake
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentAbstract : 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

17. Simulation of Hardening of the MahanaKhon Tower Mat Foundation
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : 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.

18. Alternative methods to prevent thermal cracking in concrete
University essay fromAbstract : 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

19. Linear and non-linear FE-analysis of cracking behavior of wing walls in integral bridges
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för KonstruktionsteknikAbstract : 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

20. An Attempt Towards FE-Modelling of Fracture Propagation in Railway Wheels
University essay from KTH/SpårfordonAbstract : The demand for higher velocities and heavier axle loads for freight trains leads to higher forces on the railway wheels which in turn lead to an increase in stresses on and below the surface of the wheel-rail contact. By time, this induces wear on the wheels which consequently lead to higher maintenance costs and in some cases accidents. READ MORE
