  1. 6. FE-Modelling of Composite Girder tests

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Holger Berggren; Bergstedt Ola; [2024]
    Keywords : shear connector; post-installed; coiled spring pins; composite girder; partial composite action; finite element method;

    Abstract : Many of the existing steel-concrete bridges may need to be strengthened, as heavier vehicles areallowed on the Swedish roads. These bridges could possibly be strengthened by post-installingshear connectors. The shear connectors may enhance the load-bearing capacity through a higherdegree of composite action between the steel and concrete interface. READ MORE

  3. 7. Regional electricity price effect on industry location - Sweden’s 2011 electricity market split

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi med statistik

    Author : Christian Hardless; Jordanos Sentayehu; [2023-02-09]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In November 2011, a reform split the Swedish electricity market into four price zones and made it possible for different parts of the country to have different electricity prices. For industries where electricity constitutes a large share of production costs, it may be preferred to be located in a zone where electricity prices are lower. READ MORE

  4. 8. High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage for Innovative Hybrid CSP/PV Plants : A Comprehensive Design Optimization

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Lorenzo Centonze; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : By means of a literature review, critical parameters in the context of thermal energy storage systems, particularly packed bed thermal energy storage systems are identified. The goals of this thesis project are to come up with an optimized design for a PBSTES and to evaluate the thermal performance of alternative storage materials derived from byproducts of industrial processes and natural rocks in order to reduce the environmental impact of the designed system.

    Author : John Abdalnour; Milad Saliba; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This master's thesis aimed to investigate the behaviour of reinforced concrete beams under dynamic loading conditions, specifically focusing on understanding shear failure. The study was conducted with KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the Swedish Fortifications Agency, and Tyréns. READ MORE

  6. 10. Paving the Way to Sustainability: Assessing the Impacts of Carbon Border Tariffs on the Steel Industry

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Claudia Spanier; Kimya Rahmanian Aberouie; [2023]
    Keywords : Carbon border tariffs; CO2 emissions; trade; steel; environmental policy; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : This paper seeks to provide insights into the effects of carbon border tariffs and to offer guidance for policymakers. The focus is directed towards the steel sector - a major contributor to carbon dioxide emissions, where production practices vary significantly among countries, leading to differences in pollution levels.
