  1. 1. Structural strengthening and sustainability improvements of existing buildings – A case study

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Pardis Niknafs; [2022]
    Keywords : Building retrofit; structural strengthening; energy efficiency; environmental impact; integrated and sustainable intervention; cross-laminated timber; life cycle assessment;

    Abstract : In Sweden, a large share of residential buildings was built more than 50 years ago. Consequently, old materials, poor maintenance, and corrosion can affect the structural performance of these buildings. Additionally, these buildings do not meet the latest energy efficiency and Eurocode regulations. READ MORE

  3. 2. Concrete reinforced with FRP rebars : Evaluation of durability and behaviour in the Service Limit State (SLS)

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : David Ottosson; [2021]
    Keywords : GFRP; Durability; SLS; Atena;

    Abstract : One of the most common building materials is concrete and it has been for a long time. To overcome its low tensile capacity concrete structures are normally reinforced with steel rebars. READ MORE

  4. 3. Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with Side Near Surface Mounted FRP : A parametric study based on finite element analysis

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

    Author : Rewan Eredini; [2016]
    Keywords : Side near surface mounted reinforcement; Bottom near surface mounted reinforcement; Parametric study; FEM-analysis; Atena; Carbon fiber reinforced polymer;

    Abstract : Most of the today’s concrete structures are older than tenyears, and the need to strengthening existing structures is growing steadily. This is due to various reasons such as degradation due to ageing, environmentally induced degradation, poor initial design or construction and lack of maintenance, to name a few. READ MORE

  5. 4. Feasibility Analysis of a Fiber Reinforced Polymer Bridge

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Neil Murphy; [2013]
    Keywords : Fiber reinforced polymer; FRP; plastics; life cycle cost analysis; life cycle assessment; LUSAS; finite element analysis; Friedberg bridge.;

    Abstract : When implementing a bridge design proposal, it is common that several alternatives be considered, each with a different material of construction. Traditional building materials used for the construction of bridges have mainly been concrete, steel, timber or aluminium. READ MORE

  6. 5. Numerical Evaluation of Structural Behavior of the Simply Supported FRP-RC Beams

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Marjan Shahrokh Esfahani; Rasoul Nilforoush Hamedani; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The main problem of steel-reinforced concrete structures is corrosion of steel reinforcements which leads to premature failure of the concrete structures. This problem costs a lot annually to rehabilitate and repair these structures. READ MORE
