  1. 11. Non-Linear FE-Analysis of a Composite Action Girder with Coiled Spring Pins as Shear Connectors

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Simon Stahlin; [2019]
    Keywords : composite bridge; composite action; shear connector; coiled spring pins; finite element modeling; samverkansbro; samverkan; skjuvförbindare; spiralbult; finita element modellering;

    Abstract : For bridges to cope with increased requirements such as increased loads, strengthening work can be carried out. In cases where older steel-concrete bridges do not have a composite action, an alternative is to create composite-action to achieve a higher flexural strength. It is introduced by post-installing shear connectors. READ MORE

  3. 12. Seismic analysis and retrofitting of an existing multi-storey building in Stockholm

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Matilda Muca; Celine Haikal; [2018]
    Keywords : Earthquakes; seismic analysis; retrofitting; frequency; multi-storey building; shear wall; steel bracing; Jordbävningar; seismisk analys; förbättring av skadade byggnader; flervånings-byggnad; skjuvvägg; stålfackverk;

    Abstract : Throughout the years earthquakes are a huge concern for structures; causing losses of peoples’ lives, damages and collapse of homes. Usually, most of the buildings that collapse or have serious damages are mostly old buildings that do not fulfil any longer the updated regulations and building codes concerning seismic design.

  4. 13. An Automated Process for Concrete Reinforcement Layout Design

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Cecilia Gavrell; Ludvig Reuterswärd; [2018]
    Keywords : Genetic algorithm; Optimization; Reinforcement layout design; Automation; Buildability; Constructability; Genetisk algoritm; Optimering; Armering; Automatisering; Byggbarhet;

    Abstract : As many tasks considering structural design in civil engineering become digitalised, the possibility of creating a more effective workflow increases. The development of computer programs that can handle large amounts of data and assist the decision making during design process increases the requirement of the data management to fully utilize the potential of a digital workflow.

  5. 14. Slope Stability Evaluation from a RiskManagement Perspective : Case Study: the Slussen project in Stockholm

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Louise Larsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Slope stability; shear strength; uncertainties; risk management; Släntstabilitet; Skjuvhållfasthet; riskhantering; osäkerheter;

    Abstract : Site characterization and the subsequent determination of soil strengthparameters constitute a significant part of slope stability assessment.Geotechnical engineering is always governed by great uncertainties sincethe soil properties are challenging to estimate for a large soil volume.

  6. 15. Buckling of End-Bearing Retaining Walls in Clay

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Fredrik Jansson; Nils Nilsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Berliner walls; Critical loads; buckling; finite element model; Eurocode 3; Berlinerspont; Rörspont; kritisk knäckningslast; knäckning; finit element modell; Eurocode 3;

    Abstract : The design of back-anchored retaining walls in Sweden has traditionally not included global elastic instability of the retaining wall as a possible failure mode. Eurocode 3 part 5 (SS-EN 1993-5) requires design of steel structural members for retaining walls to assess the risk of buckling if the normal force exceeds 4 % of the critical buckling load of the retaining wall.
