  1. 1. Increased Traffic Loads on Swedish Highway Bridges : A Case study of the bridge at highway interchange Värö

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Fredrik Forsberg; [2017]
    Keywords : BRIGADE Standard; Concrete slab frame bridge; FEM; Load carrying capacity calculation; Load carrying capacity class; BRIGADE Standard; Bärighetsberäkningar; Plattrambro; FEM; Bärighetsklasser;

    Abstract : The Swedish government is planning to increase the maximum vehicle gross load regulations on parts of the national roads from the present 60 t, for the load carrying capacity class BK1, to 74 t, for the proposed new load carrying capacity class BK4. The initial implementation of the new load carrying capacity class for 74 t vehicles will only regard major highways and important roads, however, at a later stage the plan is to implement the new BK4 class on the full current BK1 road network.

  2. 2. Load Effect Modelling in Fatigue Design of Composite Bridges : An assessment of Fatigue Load Models 3, 4 and 5 according to SS-EN-1991-2 Actions on Structures – Part 2: Traffic loads on Bridges

    University essay from KTH/Stålbyggnad

    Author : Mathias Dahlvik; Johan Eriksson; [2014]
    Keywords : Fatigue; Composite Bridges; Eurocode; BRO 2004; Fatigue Load Model; FLM; utmattning; kompositbroar; Eurokod; BRO 2004; utmattningslastmodell; FLM;

    Abstract : At the turn of 2010/2011, Sweden went from designing structures according to nationaldesign codes to the new European standards Eurocode. For bridge engineers, this implieda change from a combination of BRO 2004 and BSK 07 to the Eurocode as the maindocuments, complemented by national documents such as TRVK Bro 11. READ MORE

  3. 3. Nonlinear FEM load bearing capacity assessment of a concrete bridge subjected to support settlements : Case of a continious slab bridge with angled supports

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Daniel Hansson; [2013]
    Keywords : Nonlinear finite element method; concrete slab brigde; support settlements; load bearing capacity assessment; angled supports; Abaqus;

    Abstract : A nonlinear finite element analysis was performed for an existing road bridge in order to see if that could show a higher load bearing capacity, as an alternative to repairing or replacing. The regular linear analysis had shown that the bridge could not take any traffic load due to the effects from large and uneven support settlements. READ MORE

  5. 5. Capacity assessment of a single span arch bridge with backfill : A case study of the Glomman Bridge

    University essay from KTH/Byggvetenskap

    Author : Henrik Bjurström; Johan Lasell; [2009]
    Keywords : Arch bridge; vault; finite element; backfill; failure envelope; masonry; capacity assessment; Bågbro; valv; finita element; fyllning; brottenvelopp; stenvalv; klassningsberäkning;

    Abstract :   The aim of this Master Thesis is to assess the load carrying capacity of the Glomman Bridge outside of the Swedish city Örebro. The Glomman Bridge is an unreinforced concrete single span arch bridge with backfill. The bridge was constructed in 1923 on assignment from the Swedish National Railways (SJ). READ MORE
