  1. 1. Drop-weight impact tests on reinforced concrete beams

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : John Abdalnour; Milad Saliba; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This master's thesis aimed to investigate the behaviour of reinforced concrete beams under dynamic loading conditions, specifically focusing on understanding shear failure. The study was conducted with KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the Swedish Fortifications Agency, and Tyréns. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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.

  4. 3. Cross-comparison of Non-Linear Seismic Assessment Methods for Unreinforced Masonry Structures in Groningen

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Viktor Peterson; Zihao Wang; [2020]
    Keywords : Non-linear time-history analysis; non-linear pushover analysis; N2-method; equivalent frame model; continuum model; numerical seismic assessment; unreinforced masonry buildings; Olinjär tids-historikanalys; olinjär stjälpningsanalys; N2-metoden; ekvivalent rammodell; kontinuumelement modell; numerisk jordbävningsanalys; oarmerade murverksbyggnader;

    Abstract : A large amount of low-rise unreinforced masonry structures (URM) can be found in Groningen, the Netherlands. More and more induced earthquakes with short duration have been detected in this region due to gas exploitation. READ MORE

  5. 4. Simmulating pullout forces in particleboard

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanik och hållfasthetslära

    Author : Tapiwanashe Phiri; Niklas Björkman; [2019]
    Keywords : transversely isotropic material; orthotropic material; particleboard; finite element analysis; material model;

    Abstract : Pull-out forces of screws and connectors in particleboard are particularly important when designing for strength and, or assembly in the furniture industry. The aim of this thesis was to develop a simulation model of particleboard that can predict pull-out forces of screws better than the currently used simulation model at IKEA of Sweden. READ MORE

  6. 5. Nonlinear FEM load bearing capacity assessment of a concrete bridge subjected to support settlements : Case of a continious slab bridge with angled supports

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Daniel Hansson; [2013]
    Keywords : Nonlinear finite element method; concrete slab brigde; support settlements; load bearing capacity assessment; angled supports; Abaqus;

    Abstract : A nonlinear finite element analysis was performed for an existing road bridge in order to see if that could show a higher load bearing capacity, as an alternative to repairing or replacing. The regular linear analysis had shown that the bridge could not take any traffic load due to the effects from large and uneven support settlements. READ MORE
