  1. 1. Reinforcement Layout in Concrete Pile Foundations : A study based on non - linear finite element analysis

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Mohammad Mustafa Angar; [2020]
    Keywords : Pile cap; Nonlinear finite element analysis; ATENA 3D; Reinforcement layout; Strut and tie method; Pålfundament; icke-linjära finita elementmodeller; strut and tie-metoden;

    Abstract : The main topic of this thesis concerns the behavior of concrete pile cap supported by four piles with two varying positions of longitudinal reinforcements. The positions include top of piles and bottom of the pile cap. For this purpose, non-linear finite element models of a pile cap are created using software ATENA 3D. READ MORE

  3. 2. Experimental analysis of limitations in the strut-and-tie method

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

    Author : Mikael Wahlgren; Niels Bailleul; [2016]
    Keywords : Strut-and-Tie method; Reinforced concrete; Concrete Damaged Plasticity; Fracture energy; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : One of the overall main purposes for a structural engineer is to design structures and structural elements so that they meet society’s safety requirements, yet use as little material as possible. In order to do so, the designer has to understand and simplify a complex reality. READ MORE

  4. 3. Design of Thick Concrete Beams : Using Non-Linear FEM

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Daniel Mekonnen Teklemariam; Bennie Hamunzala; [2016]
    Keywords : Thick concrete beam; Capacity; Non-linear finite element analysis; Crack width; Load deformation response; Ultimate and Serviceability limit state.; Tjocka betongbalkar; Kapacitet; Icke-linjära finita element analys; Sprikvidd; Deformation; Brott-och bruksgränstillstånd;

    Abstract : The experimental studies performed on the behaviour of very thick concrete beams subjected to static loads have revealed that the shear mechanisms play an important role in the overall response and failure behaviour. The aim of this thesis is to recommend suitable design methods for thick concrete beams subjected to off-centre static concentrated load according Eurocode 2 by using non-linear finite element analysis (NLFEA).

  5. 4. Design of Perimeter Walls in Tubed Mega Frame Structures

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Niklas Fall; Viktor Hammar; [2014]
    Keywords : Concrete; Skyscrapers; Perimeter Walls; Tubed Mega Frame; non-linear FE-analysis; Betong; Tvärväggar; Skyskrapor; TMF-konstruktioner; ickelinjär FE-analys;

    Abstract : The Tubed Mega Frame is a new concept for constructing high-rise buildings,based on the idea of moving the main bearing system to the perimeter of thebuilding by using a number of large hollow columns, mega tubes, connected byperimeter walls at certain levels. The concept is under development by Tyréns ABand has not yet been implemented in reality. READ MORE

  6. 5. Pile foundation, calculation method and design tables according to Eurocode

    University essay from Medie- och Informationsteknik; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Kristoffer Ivarsson; [2013]
    Keywords : Pålfundament; Konsolmodellen;

    Abstract : Because of the transition to a common standard for building regulations in Europe called Eurocodes, there is a need to update old reports that was written when old national standards were in use. A pile foundation is needed if the ground beneath a building does not have enough loadbearing capacity. READ MORE
