1. Reinforcement Layout in Concrete Pile Foundations : A study based on non - linear finite element analysis
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : 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

2. Experimental analysis of limitations in the strut-and-tie method
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för KonstruktionsteknikAbstract : 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

3. Design of Thick Concrete Beams : Using Non-Linear FEM
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : 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).

4. Design of Perimeter Walls in Tubed Mega Frame Structures
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : 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
