  1. 1. Drop-weight impact tests on reinforced concrete beams

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    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

  3. 2. Hybrid bridge deck of timber and corrugated steel plates

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Muze Lu; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Over the years, hybrid structures composed of timber and steel have become a potential alternative to conventional solutions. Recently, corrugated steel plate (CSP) has become more and more popular in structures such as shear walls and roofs due to its favorable mechanical properties. READ MORE

  4. 3. Novel steel hinge connection for pedestrian timber bridges : Novel steel hinge connection for pedestrian timber bridges

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Charlotte Jaeger; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This study focuses on exploring a novel timber-to-timber joint using a steel hinge connection (in this work also referred to as door-hinge joint) for pedestrian timber bridges. To conduct the cross-section design of the structural bridge members, a numerical model was developed to determine the internal forces. READ MORE

  5. 4. Size effect in wood : Characterization of mechanical properties using digital image correlation method

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad mekanik

    Author : Amir Saeidi; Olafur Johannsson; [2023]
    Keywords : compression test longitudinal direction; digital image corre- lation DIC ; ncorr; phyton; pinewood; size effect; stiffness matrix; wood- construction; YAWCAM; young’s modulus; digital image correlation DIC ; elasticitetsmodul; furu; kom- pressionstest längs fiberriktning; ncorr; phyton; storlekseffekt; styvhetsma- tris; trä-konstruktion; YAWCAM;

    Abstract : As a natural composite material, wood exhibits complex structural char-acteristics and diverse behavior under compression and tensile forces. Itsanisotropic nature results in mechanical properties that vary depending onthe load direction along its longitudinal, tangential, and radial grains. READ MORE

  6. 5. A Feasibility Analysis of Natural Composite Alternatives in High Performance Sailing Vessels

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Sabrina Smith; [2023]
    Keywords : F50 catamaran; sustainable materials; marine applications; flax laminates; mechanical testing; environmental analysis; weight distribution; yacht performance;

    Abstract : The construction of high-performance vessels like the F50 catamaran has traditionally prioritized advanced composite materials and performance-driven design. However, there is a growing need to incorporate sustainable materials and practices, with their performance in marine applications remaining relatively unknown. READ MORE
