21. Shear Failure of Steel Fiber and Bar Reinforced Concrete Beams Without Stirrups : Predictions based on Nonlinear Finite Element Analyses
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : Shear failure in concrete beams are often brittle in nature and potentially dangerous without adequatereinforcing measures. In design of concrete, it is commonly recommended to install transversalreinforcement along the shear span to induce a more ductile structural response, improving the shearcapacity all together and providing sufficient warning prior to collapse.

22. Endogenic Production : subjective matter and bodily involvement
University essay from Konstfack/Inredningsarkitektur & MöbeldesignAbstract : The word endogenic means growing or proceeding from within, it is commonly used to describe the process of tectonic movement and earth crust formation caused by the extrusion of magmatic material. My project is a metaphorical exploration of the geological term “endogenic process” as well as an exploration of a design approach based on the term. READ MORE

23. Buckling of Short End-Bearing Piles in Clay
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : Structural design of piles with respect to buckling in Sweden is commonlymade in accordance with the calculation model from the Commission ofPile Research, PKR. A prerequisite for this model is that the elasticbuckling length of the pile is shorter than the physical length. READ MORE

24. Life cycle analysis and comparison of climate impact for two alternative floor systems for increased weight in high-rise timber buildings
University essay from KTH/ByggnadsmaterialAbstract : The aim of this Master Thesis is to investigate and quantify the climate impact for two floor system alternatives for the Cederhusen project, that is the 8 floors timber-based buildings located at Sankt Eriksplan in Stockholm. The overall motivation for this study is the fact that the construction industry is a major contributor to the total amount of the global greenhouse gas emissions. READ MORE

25. Design of footbridges subjected to dynamic loading
University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaperAbstract : Modern design of steel pedestrian bridges often results in relatively light constructions with low natural frequencies were there is a considerable risk of resonance to occur from loads due to pedestrians. To resolve the problem a common solution is to increase dimensions of load bearing elements, resulting in greatly oversized elements with increasing costs and have substantial environmental impact.
