1. 21. Reinforced Concrete Structures Subjected to Imposed Deformations: A Study of Cracking due to Shrinkage in Slab Foundations for Residential Houses

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för bygg- och miljöteknologi

   Author : Henrik Johansson; Martin Heinegård; [2020]
   Keywords : Reinforced concrete structures; nonlinear finite element analysis; crack widths; imposed deformations; shrinkage; foundation slabs; fracture mechanics; Atena 2D; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The need for limiting crack widths in reinforced concrete structures is due to durability, tightness towards gaseous and liquid substances, and for aesthetic reasons. Although concrete cracks at relatively low tensile stresses and can not be avoided, strategies for crack control can be adopted to meet the requirements. READ MORE

3. 22. Vibrations in cross-laminated timber floors : Examining standards

   University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och design

   Author : Lisette Svensson; Emma Berghem; [2020]
   Keywords : floor vibrations; CLT; timber; vibrations; FEM; Eurocode 5; Calculatis; Bjälklagsvibrationer; KL-trä; vibrationer; FEM; Eurokod 5; calculatis;

   Abstract : The report aims to investigate norms, standards, guidelines and experience within the industry for how to design CLT (cross-laminated timber) regarding vibrations induced from humans. The following is being researched, ISO137, KL-trähandboken, Eurocode 5 and a new unpublished working draft of Eurocode 5 final working draft, Canadian CLT handbook and Cross-laminated timber structural design according to Eurocode from Austria.

4. 23. The impact of stage casting on shrinkage restraint in concrete walls

   University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och design

   Author : Cindy Amjadi; Justyna Melek; [2020]
   Keywords : Concrete; concrete wall; stage casting; shrinkage restraint; cracking; FEM-Design; Betong; betongvägg; gjutetappindelning; krymptvång; sprickor; FEM-Design;

   Abstract : The most used widely material in the construction and industrial industry is concrete. Concrete is a material that has been used for a long time and will remain to do so. Therefore, it is especially important to obtain knowledge of the material’s properties and how it is affected by various conditions. READ MORE

5. 24. The effect of pre-stressing location on punching shear capacity of concrete flat slabs

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Saeed Vosoughian; [2019]
   Keywords : Concrete flat slabs; Concrete damage plasticity model; Eurocode 2; Nonlinear finite element analysis; Punching capacity; Pre-stressing cables;

   Abstract :         Implementing pre-stressing cables is a viable option aiming at controlling deformation and cracking of concrete flat slabs in serviceability limit state. The pre-stressing cables also contribute to punching shear capacity of the slab when they are located in vicinity of the column. READ MORE

6. 25. Modelling cross-laminated timber floors in dynamic analysis - Eigenfrequency prediction

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper; Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik

   Author : Johannes Wetterholt; [2019]
   Keywords : finite element method; FEM; dynamic analysis; Eigenfrequency; CLT; cross-laminated timber; cross-laminated timber floors; wooden floors; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : In the late 1990s cross-laminated timber (CLT) was developed. The development of CLT was a project aimed to produce a structural product that could compete with the concrete industry and contribute to a reduced effect on the environment, due to the low environmental impact of timber in relation to other building materials.
