  1. 1. FE-Modelling of Composite Girder tests

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

    Author : Holger Berggren; Bergstedt Ola; [2024]
    Keywords : shear connector; post-installed; coiled spring pins; composite girder; partial composite action; finite element method;

    Abstract : Many of the existing steel-concrete bridges may need to be strengthened, as heavier vehicles areallowed on the Swedish roads. These bridges could possibly be strengthened by post-installingshear connectors. The shear connectors may enhance the load-bearing capacity through a higherdegree of composite action between the steel and concrete interface. READ MORE

  3. 2. African Climate Hazard Assessment - A composite index assessing national vulnerability to climate change

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

    Author : Josefine Falk; Otto Fjelkner; [2023]
    Keywords : Composite Index; Climate Vulnerability; Assessment; African Nations; Acute Physical Hazards; Chronic Physical Hazards; Systemic Hazards; Exposure; Multidimensional Approach; Sensitivity; Adaptation; Indicators; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The study is compiled into a composite index for assessing the climate vulnerability of African nations. By employing a multidimensional approach, the index comprises nine distinctive hazards to examine a country’s sensitivity to climate change. READ MORE

  4. 3. Global Analysis of a Tall Timber- Concrete Hybrid Structure Subjected to Wind Load : A Parametric Study of Different Hybrid Solutions

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Clara Youssef; Meriam Basilious; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract :   Tall timber structures have received more attention in recent times as building withtimber contributes to environmental benefits in comparison to other building materials.Timber- concrete hybrid structures have become an alternative as previous investigationshave shown that building tall timber buildings implies complexities with regardsto sufficient stiffness and discomfort for occupants.

  5. 4. Strengthening of non-composite bridges by Partial Composite Action

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

    Author : Johan Tjernberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Composite action; Composite bridges; Partial shear connection; Partial Composite Action; Shear connectors; Coiled Spring Pins;

    Abstract : A common bridge type is the steel-concrete bridge where the concrete deck is built over steel girders. In many earlier designs the bridge type was often built as non-composite, which means that the concrete deck and the steel girder has no shear connection at the steel-concrete interface and therefore bend as individual components.

  6. 5. Effekt av sederande läkemedel på hästars smärtansikte

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

    Author : Hanna Bjarnestig; [2021]
    Keywords : häst; smärtbedömning; smärtansikte; EquiFACS; sedering;

    Abstract : Det är viktigt att kunna smärtbedöma hästar korrekt för att de ska få korrekt vård. Det finns flera beprövade metoder, bland annat genom att mäta fysiologiska parametrar eller genom att använda sig av enkla och sammansatta smärtskalor. READ MORE
