  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. Evaluation of load distribution on ballasted reinforced concrete railway trough bridges

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : Alex Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : Concrete; numerical analysis; trough bridge; railway bridge; finite element model; discrete element method; Betong; numeriskanalys; trågbro; tågbro; finita elementmetoden; diskreta elementmetoden;

    Abstract : A significant portion of the reinforced concrete railway bridges in Sweden are reaching their designed lifespan and are scheduled to be demolished and replaced in the upcoming years. To limit the econom-icand environmental impact related to the replacement of existing railway infrastructure, a comprehen-siveevaluation of their capacity is required with the aim of extending its lifespan.

  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. Generating Design Improvements Using Circularity Indicators : A case study on how to measure, increase and evaluate the circularity of a fully automated coffee machine

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Industriell miljöteknik

    Author : Signe Svorén; Johanna Gustavsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Circular Economy; Circularity Indicators; Circularity Measurement Toolkit; Environmental design; Product Development; Product Evaluation;

    Abstract : This thesis presents how circularity indicators successfully can be used to generate concrete design improvements for commercial machines with the aim of making them better adapted to the Circular Economy. By using a methodology based on workshops, assessment of circular maturity from BS8001:2017- Framework for implementing the principles of the circular economy in organizations – guide, and use of the circularity indicator Circularity Measurement Toolkit (CMT) a fully automated coffee machine became 4 percent improved in the circular performance and an 80 percent landfill waste reduction was achieved.

  6. 5. Comparison of State Backends for Modern Stream Processing System

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Mikolaj Robakowski; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Distributed Stream Processing is a very popular computing paradigm used invarious modern computer systems. An important aspect of distributed streamprocessing systems is how they deal with computation state bigger than thesystem memory. READ MORE
