  1. 21. Study of crack width within a suspended concrete slab with different amount of cement clinker considering lower climate impact

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Sedige Feizi; Fateha Yasmin Khan; [2018]
    Keywords : concrete; lower climate impact; carbon dioxide emission; cement clinker; fly ash; laboratory test; slab; crack width; analytical calculation; FEM-design; betong; lägre klimatpåverkan; koldioxidutsläpp; exponering klass; cementklinker; flygaska; laboratorium; platta; sprickvidd; analytisk beräkning; FEM-design;

    Abstract : This master thesis investigates the possibility of using a concrete recipe with only 70 % cement clinker for a building project named Gretas Glänta, regarding the demands of cracking for a suspended slab. The requirement to fulfill was a maximum crack width of 0.2 mm due to drying shrinkage and long- term loading. READ MORE

  3. 22. Investigation of factors affecting cracking during forming of truck cab body parts

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Evelina Salomonsson; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sheet metal forming is a technique widely used in todays industries as it enables fast transformation of metal sheets into parts of various shapes and sizes. Volvo GTO EBM in Umeå uses sheet metal forming in their production of truck cab body parts, and a challenge common for all industries using this technique is to avoid cracking in the formed metal.

  4. 23. Misfit – Impact on Porcelain Fracture and Screw Loosening of Implant-supported FDPs - A Laboratory Pilot Study

    University essay from Malmö högskola/Odontologiska fakulteten (OD)

    Author : Ida Linde; Caroline Svedberg; [2017]
    Keywords : FDP; Chipping; Complication; Implant; Metal-ceramic; Misfit;

    Abstract : Syfte: Syftet med denna laborativa pilotstudie var att undersöka huruvida en misfit mellan ettimplantat och en skruvretinerad bro ökade risken för sprickor och chip-off frakturer i porslinet, samt risken för uppskruvning av implantatskruvarna.Material och metod: Tjugo stycken implantatstödda skruvretinerade femledsbroar tillverkades i titan med ytporslin.

  5. 24. Thermal cracking of a concrete arch dam due to seasonal temperature variations

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Jonas Enzell; Markus Tollsten; [2017]
    Keywords : Arch dam; Concrete; Finite element analysis; Cracking; Progressive failure analysis; Valvdamm; Betong; Finit elementanalys; Sprickor; Progressiv brottanalys;

    Abstract : Concrete dams located in northern regions are exposed to large seasonal temperature variations. These seasonal temperature variations have resulted in cracking in thin concrete dams. Continuous monitoring and evaluation of existing dams are important to increase the knowledge about massive concrete structures and to ensure dam safety. READ MORE

  6. 25. Temperature reduction during concrete hydration in massive structures

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Sandra Lagundzija; Marie Thiam; [2017]
    Keywords : Massive concrete structures; hydration heat; temperature reduction; crack risk; mineral additions; concrete cooling; Massiva betongkonstruktioner; värmeutveckling; temperaturreducering; sprickbildning; mineraltillsatser; kylning av betong;

    Abstract : Concrete is one of the most used building materials in the world because of its good properties. However, cement which is one of the main components in concrete, produces a high amount of heat during the hydration process. The generated heat leads to temperature rise inside the structure.
