    Abstract : Urbanisation is causing densification of cities and more and more facilities are being placed in the underground to utilise the urban space as efficiently as possible. Access to the underground is obtained by constructing vertical access shafts. READ MORE

  2. 2. Modelling Lateral Stability of Prefabricated Concrete Structures

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Caroline Lindwall; Jonas Wester; [2016]
    Keywords : precast; concrete; hollow core; shear key; diaphragm;

    Abstract : Stability calculations of prefabricated concrete structures with help of FEM-tools demand knowledge about how the elements are related to each other. This thesis concerns how joints between building elements affect the results when modelling prefabricated concrete structures, with demarcation to joints between hollow core (HC) slabs and between solid wall elements.
