  1. 31. Shear Capacity of Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete Beams without Conventional Shear Reinforcement

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Eleonora Mondo; [2011]
    Keywords : Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete; shear; Narayanan and Darwish´s Equation; RILEM; CNR; DafStB; post-cracking; flexural tensile strength;

    Abstract : While the increase in shear strength of Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) is well recognized, it has yet to be found common application of this material in building structures and there is no existing national standard that treats SFRC in a systematic manner. The aim of the diploma work is to investigate the shear strength of fibre reinforced concrete beams and the available test data and analyse the latter against the mostpromising equations available in the literature.

  3. 32. Strengthening of Concrete Beams and Slabs using Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers

    University essay from Institutionen för teknik och naturvetenskap; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Marcus Heverius; [2010]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The use of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites for strengthening existing concrete structures has in recent years increased within the Swedish construction business. The main advantage of CFRP composites is their high strength compared to their weight, which enable thin layers of composites attached to the existing structure to increase its load capacity significantly.

  4. 33. Strength tests of shell bedded autoclaved aerated concrete.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

    Author : Marcus Björk; Daniel Johanson; [2006]
    Keywords : Cross joint; bed joint; autoclaved aerated concrete; AAC; flexural strength; compressive strength; shear strength; BKR; experimental tests; characteristic values; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In this master thesis, the properties of shell bedded autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) are investigated. There are reasons to believe that the values for flexural, compressive and shear strength in the Swedish regulations are on the low side. READ MORE
