1. 1. Catenary action to prevent progressive collapse in multistorey timber buildings : An experimental study of tube joints

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Träteknik; Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik, maskin- och materialteknik

   Author : Sivert Knutsen; [2023]
   Keywords : wood; engineering; construction; massive timber; tube joints; Progressive collapse;

   Abstract : In the modern building industry wood as a building material has been looked on as one of the solutions to lower the environmentally impact of the building industry. Building types that normally have been reserved for concrete and steel are today being built with wood as main load bearing component. READ MORE

3. 2. Shear Failure of Steel Fiber and Bar Reinforced Concrete Beams Without Stirrups : Predictions based on Nonlinear Finite Element Analyses

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : David Andersson; [2022]
   Keywords : Nonlinear finite element analysis; Shear failure; Fiber reinforced concrete beams; ATENA;

   Abstract : Shear failure in concrete beams are often brittle in nature and potentially dangerous without adequatereinforcing measures. In design of concrete, it is commonly recommended to install transversalreinforcement along the shear span to induce a more ductile structural response, improving the shearcapacity all together and providing sufficient warning prior to collapse.

4. 3. Characterization of Fiber Orientation and Weld Line Effects in Reinforced Plastics with Reduced CO2eq Emissions

   University essay from Jönköping University/JTH, Material och tillverkning

   Author : Anders Tolf; Markus Johannesson; [2022]
   Keywords : Fiber-reinforced plastics; GFRP; Reduced carbon dioxide equivalent materials; Experimental; Uniaxial tensile test; Uniform fiber orientation plate; Tensile strength; Fiber orientation; Weld line; Fracture analysis; Microscopy;

   Abstract : With increasing emphasis and regulations on the environmental footprint in industries, the integration of reduced carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq) plastic materials is desirable. Fiber-reinforced plastic materials mechanical properties differ with varying fiber orientations. READ MORE

5. 4. Numerical simulations of shear reinforced concrete beams subjected to blast loads

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Anton Frank; Andreas Fristedt; [2021]
   Keywords : Numerical simulations; shear reinforcement; blast loads; dynamic shear failure; Numeriska simuleringar; tvärkraftsarmering; luftstötvåg; dynamiskt skjuvbrott;

   Abstract : Historical accidents and experimental investigations have made apparent that blast loaded concrete members are prone to fail in brittle shear rather than a ductile flexure mode. Air blasts from accidental detonations or explosives may cause severe damage to buildings and infrastructure and it is of great importance that load carrying members can withstand the impulse that arise to avoid progressive collapses.

6. 5. FE-Modelling of a Joint for Cross-Laminated Timber

   University essay from Karlstads universitet/Avdelningen för maskin- och materialteknik

   Author : Linus Ekhagen; [2021]
   Keywords : cross-laminated timber; fe-modelling; continuum damage mechanics; fracture; korslimmat trä; fe modellering; skademekanik; brott;

   Abstract : Woodbe Engineering AB is a freshly started company that has developed a new type of joint for cross-laminated timber (CLT). The joint does not include any metallic fasteners, which improves sustainability, the ergonomics for the workers and time efficiency. READ MORE
