1. 1. PARAMETRIC STUDY FOR WALL-TO-WALL CONNECTION IN MIXED STEEL CONCRETE STRUCTURES

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Simone De Troia; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The objective of this thesis work is to study the connection between two Steel Concrete Structures (SCS) wall modules using embedded connection bars. The SCSs under investigation consist of two steel faceplates held together by tie bars, concrete is cast inside, and stress transmission between the concrete and the steel plates is provided by shear connectors as headed studs.

3. 2. 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

4. 3. Effects of cracking of coupling beams onhigh rise towers subjected to wind load

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Brook Worku Woldemikael; [2020]
   Keywords : Crack; reinforcement content; aspect ratio; shear deformation; joint flexibility; concrete grade; effective stiffness.; Sprickor; förstärkningsinnehåll; tvärsnittsförhållande; skjuvdeformation; ledflexibilitet; betongkvalitet; effektiv styvhet;

   Abstract : In high rise towers, reinforced concrete elevator shafts with coupling beams are extensively used as a principal structural element to resist lateral loads. The lateral load resistance of the tower is dominantly dependent on the stiffness of the load-bearing walls, and coupling beams connecting them. READ MORE

5. 4. Seismic analysis and retrofitting of an existing multi-storey building in Stockholm

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Matilda Muca; Celine Haikal; [2018]
   Keywords : Earthquakes; seismic analysis; retrofitting; frequency; multi-storey building; shear wall; steel bracing; Jordbävningar; seismisk analys; förbättring av skadade byggnader; flervånings-byggnad; skjuvvägg; stålfackverk;

   Abstract : Throughout the years earthquakes are a huge concern for structures; causing losses of peoples’ lives, damages and collapse of homes. Usually, most of the buildings that collapse or have serious damages are mostly old buildings that do not fulfil any longer the updated regulations and building codes concerning seismic design.

6. 5. Horizontal natural frequency in a 10 story building : A comparison between CLT and concrete using estimate calculations

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

   Author : Jennifer Eriksson; [2018]
   Keywords : Horizontal natural frequency; tall timber building; timber structure; CLT; wind induced motion; tall CLT building; Horisontell egenfrekvens; hög träbyggnad; höga trähus; KL-trä; vindinducerade rörelser; högt KL-hus;

   Abstract : Tall slender buildings are easily set in motion by wind and earthquakes but by estimating the buildings horizontal natural frequencies in the design phase, these motions can be kept within acceptable boundaries. There are many parameters that decides the natural frequency of a building and it can therefore be difficult to calculate it. READ MORE
