  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Structural strengthening and sustainability improvements of existing buildings – A case study

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Pardis Niknafs; [2022]
    Keywords : Building retrofit; structural strengthening; energy efficiency; environmental impact; integrated and sustainable intervention; cross-laminated timber; life cycle assessment;

    Abstract : In Sweden, a large share of residential buildings was built more than 50 years ago. Consequently, old materials, poor maintenance, and corrosion can affect the structural performance of these buildings. Additionally, these buildings do not meet the latest energy efficiency and Eurocode regulations. READ MORE

  4. 3. Concrete reinforced with FRP rebars : Evaluation of durability and behaviour in the Service Limit State (SLS)

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : David Ottosson; [2021]
    Keywords : GFRP; Durability; SLS; Atena;

    Abstract : One of the most common building materials is concrete and it has been for a long time. To overcome its low tensile capacity concrete structures are normally reinforced with steel rebars. READ MORE

  5. 4. A Comparative LCA study on the refurbishment of quays with induced mineral deposition technology

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Remy Prame Joseph Jerald; [2020]
    Keywords : Refurbishment; Induced mineral deposition; Life cycle assessment; Climate change impact; Global warming potential;

    Abstract : A quay is a structure which is constructed along the shoreline for docking purposes. When the quay is constructed using reinforced concrete, damage over time happens under the combined action of chemical and mechanical corrosion of the varied materials. READ MORE

  6. 5. Safety Assessment of Cracked Buttress Dams

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Robel Tekeste Fekadu; Sujata Kayastha; [2020]
    Keywords : Concrete buttress dam; finite element analysis; safety factor; global failure; reinforcement; corrosion; combined failure; traditional stability analysis;

    Abstract : Most of the concrete buttress dams in Sweden were built from the 1950s till the1980s based on the traditional method of analyses. Those structures are reinforced and heavy in structure. Their height to thickness ratio being large makes them prone to crack during their lifespan. READ MORE
