  1. 1. Drop-weight impact tests on reinforced concrete beams

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : John Abdalnour; Milad Saliba; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This master's thesis aimed to investigate the behaviour of reinforced concrete beams under dynamic loading conditions, specifically focusing on understanding shear failure. The study was conducted with KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the Swedish Fortifications Agency, and Tyréns. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Effect of Chloride-Induced Corrosion Patterns on the Crack Width of Reinforced Concrete

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Dilara Uludag; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This master's thesis investigates cracking in a parking garage, with a particular focus on the influence of corrosion. Concrete structures commonly experience cracking, and corrosion has emerged as one of the primary contributing factors. These cracks, varying in size and shape, can be considered structural discontinuities. READ MORE

  4. 3. Cracking and Fatigue in the Prestressed Concrete Bridge at Autio

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : Kasper Andersson; Jon Leidzén; [2022]
    Keywords : Fatigue; Cracking; Prestressed Concrete Bridge; Rainflow;

    Abstract : In early 2020, cracks were discovered on the bridge crossing the Torne River at Autio. This resulted in an investigation being launched to determine the structural state of the bridge. READ MORE

  5. 4. Shear Failure of Steel Fiber and Bar Reinforced Concrete Beams Without Stirrups : Predictions based on Nonlinear Finite Element Analyses

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : David Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : Nonlinear finite element analysis; Shear failure; Fiber reinforced concrete beams; ATENA;

    Abstract : 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.

  6. 5. Investigation of methods to analyse global stability of a reinforced concrete stabilising core

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Evelina Husak; Ellinor Persson; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Ensuring the structural stability of a building is an evident requirement for the building to be safe to use. This becomes a qualified task for a structural engineer. Ensuring stability has become especially important nowadays while stabilising elements often are kept to a minimum and tall buildings are common. READ MORE
