  1. 6. Punching shear in concrete flat slabs supported on slender edge steel columns

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Pasha Jalal; Jose Andres Perez; [2020]
    Keywords : Punching shear; ATENA; FEA; precast slab; flat slab; top and foot plate.; Genomstansning; ATENA; FEA; plattbärlag; pelardäck; topp- och fotplåt.;

    Abstract : Punching shear is a failure mechanism caused by concentrated loads, creating a crack pattern that resembles a cone shape or piece of pie starting from the top surface of the slab and prolongs downwards. When the total shear force is greater than the shear resistance of the slab, it may eventually lead to punching shear failure. READ MORE

  3. 7. Optimisation of hollow core slabs : Producing units of a smaller standard width

    University essay from KTH/Byggvetenskap

    Author : Konstantinos Apostolou; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Swedish precast concrete company ‘Strängbetong’ produces a variety of Hollow Core slabs, with a standard width of 1200 mm. Quite often, the HC units are subjected to longitudinal cutting1, which takes place in the factory by a diamond blade, in order to achieve narrower elements. READ MORE

  4. 8. Parametric Optimization of Foundation Improvements with RC Slabs on Piles

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Oliver Kling; Nils Dahlman; [2019]
    Keywords : Parametric Design; Parametric Optimization; Concrete Structures; Reinforced Concrete; Foundation Improvements;

    Abstract : Parametric design has proven to be a powerful tool for structural engineers to find innovativesolutions to complex problems more effectively compared to conventional methods. Theflexibility off parametric design is immense since all types of structures depend on a range ofparameters that can be isolated, controlled and altered. READ MORE

  5. 9. A feasibility to electrify the combustion heated walking beam furnace : Applying induction and resistance heating

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Rikard Berger; Andreas Kopp; Harald Philipson; [2018]
    Keywords : Induction heating; Resistance heating; Steel reheating; Walking beam furnace; Steel slabs;

    Abstract : The carbon footprint from the iron, steel and other metal sectors has become a problem both environmentally and economically. The purpose of this report is to propose a concept of an electrified reheat furnace for the steel industry in the making of sheet metal. The aim is to reduce the environmental impact from the steel industry. READ MORE

  6. 10. Material properties of concrete used in skewed concrete bridges

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Ahmad Saad; [2016]
    Keywords : crack; skew slab; RCC slabs; fracture process zone; uniaxial compression test; uniaxial tension test; Brazilian splitting tension test; modelling linear behavior of concrete; bridges.;

    Abstract : This thesis has discussed both properties and geometry of concrete slabs used in bridges. It gave understanding on behavior of concrete in both tension and compression zones and how crack propagates in specimens by presenting both theory of fracture and performing concrete tests like tension splitting, uniaxial compression and uniaxial tension tests.
