  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. Study of demolition processes for prestressed concrete bridges: Kalix bridge

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

    Author : Lundin Hanna; [2022]
    Keywords : Kalix bridge; demolition methods; demolition process; FEM analysis; Kalixbron; rivningsmetoder; rivningsprocesser; FEM analys;

    Abstract : Bridges in Sweden are getting older and some of them are reaching their designed life span. With an older generation of bridges, the need for a good understanding of demolition processes increase. The Kalix bridge is planned to be demolished and will be used as a case study in this thesis.

  4. 3. 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.

  5. 4. Long-term deformation of balanced cantilever bridges due to non-uniform creep and shrinkage

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Sidra Akbar; Mathias Carlie; [2021]
    Keywords : Balanced cantilever bridges; box girder cross-section; concrete; non-uniform creep and shrinkage; Bažant’s B4 model; Eurocode 2; long-term deformations; finite element analysis; Freivorbau broar; lådtvärsnitt; betong; ojämnkrypningoch krympning; BažantsB4 modell; Eurokod 2; långtidsdeformationer; finita element analys;

    Abstract : Balanced cantilever bridges have historically experienced excessive deformations. Previous researchsuggeststhat the cause may be due to differential thickness in the box girder cross-section and underestimation of creep and shrinkage. READ MORE

  6. 5. Modelling Time-Dependent Effects for Segmentally Constructed Prestressed Concrete Bridges

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för bygg- och miljöteknologi

    Author : Niclas Elfving; Joel Sunesson; [2021]
    Keywords : Concrete; Creep; Segmentally constructed; Prestressing; Post-tensioning; Viscoelastic; Eurocode; Finite Element; Shell elements; Beam elements; Time-dependant; Steel relaxation.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Tidsberoende effekter, såsom krypning, krympning och stålrelaxation, är ofta svåra att prediktera när det kommer till förspända betongkonstruktioner. Krypning som ett fenomen är komplicerat och förenklas därför i gällande byggnormer (Eurocode), för att underlätta konstruktörens arbete. READ MORE
