1. Harmonised traffic load model between Eurocode 1 - part 2 (EN 1991-2) and TRV specifications : A pilot study on reinforced concrete portal frame bridges
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : The advancement of society has led to an increase in demand for infrastructure, particularly bridges, which are designed in accordance with different design codes. In Sweden, bridge design adheres to the Eurocode and national code (TRV specifications), with the most adverse scenario of the two codes determining the basis for bridge design. READ MORE

2. Improved Bridge Load Capacity via Dynamic Train-Track-Bridge Interaction : Assessing the dynamic amplification factor caused by measured track irregularities for rail freight transport
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : The carbon impact of transportation is large and requires sustainable solutions. With expected population growth, rail transportation plays a vital role in facilitating a greener Europe. The expansion of the rail infrastructure is therefore of essential importance for future challenges. READ MORE

3. Resonance Mitigation in the Attitude Control of a Flexible Large Solar Sail
University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanikAbstract : This project is about the design process of a resonancemitigating algorithm for a large solar sail. The solar sail isa structure made up by four long booms in a cross patternwith suspended sails between the edges of the booms. Thespacecraft in this report is controlled using smaller rotatingsails at each tip of the booms. READ MORE

4. A parametric study of the static and dynamic performance of timber arch footbridges with different hanger configurations
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : The influence of the hanger configuration in the arch and deck bending moments under asymmetric loads is widely used nowadays for improved designs of arch bridges. In this work, by means of a parametric study, those hanger configurations that most efficiently increase both the natural frequencies and buckling factors are identified, simultaneously evaluating the dynamic and static performance of timber arch footbridges.

5. Moment-resisting connections for glulam using birch plywood : An experimental study on both mechanical and adhesive connections
University essay from KTH/ByggnadsmaterialAbstract : The aim of this study was to investigate the load-bearing capacity and stiffness of mechanical and adhesively bonded connections in timber structures with gusset plates made of birch plywood, as a preliminary study for potential future use in long-span timber structures which could reduce the environmental impact of the building sector by substituting steel with wood products in moment-resisting connections. Birch plywood was chosen for this study due to its high bending strength in comparison to plywood made of softwoods and its availability on the market. READ MORE
