  1. 1. Feasibility study of a high-rise CLT building in a seismic area with high wind loads : A finite element approach

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Inga Berglind Eggertsdóttir; Emelía Ósk Gunnarsdóttir; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Timber has been used as a construction material for thousands of years. However,the inventions of stronger materials and increased construction of taller buildings hasled to decreased use of wood products. READ MORE

  3. 2. Effects of cracking of coupling beams onhigh rise towers subjected to wind load

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Brook Worku Woldemikael; [2020]
    Keywords : Crack; reinforcement content; aspect ratio; shear deformation; joint flexibility; concrete grade; effective stiffness.; Sprickor; förstärkningsinnehåll; tvärsnittsförhållande; skjuvdeformation; ledflexibilitet; betongkvalitet; effektiv styvhet;

    Abstract : In high rise towers, reinforced concrete elevator shafts with coupling beams are extensively used as a principal structural element to resist lateral loads. The lateral load resistance of the tower is dominantly dependent on the stiffness of the load-bearing walls, and coupling beams connecting them. READ MORE

  4. 3. Structural analysis of HSC hull design for JFD swimmer delivery system

    University essay from KTH/Marina system

    Author : Filip Söderling; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Fiber composites are widely used for small high-speed crafts due to their high strength to weight ratio. James Fisher Defense (JFD) has developed a high-speed swimmer delivery system called SEAL Carrier which is built upon a carbon fiber structure. READ MORE

  5. 4. Analysis of Tripod shaped high rise building using Tubed Mega Frame structures

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Sujan Kumar Rimal; Levi Grennvall; [2017]
    Keywords : high-rise building; inclined; slanted; tubed mega frame; tripode; höghus; vinklad; lutande; tubed mega frame; trefot;

    Abstract : Most of the tall buildings that are built today have a straight and vertical shape, because vertical buildings are more stable and easily built than slanted ones. In the case of vertical building, bending moments in the base only exists from horizontal loads such as wind and seismic loads, but in slanted buildings there will also be bending moments from dead and live loads.

  6. 5. Modelling Lateral Stability of Prefabricated Concrete Structures

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Caroline Lindwall; Jonas Wester; [2016]
    Keywords : precast; concrete; hollow core; shear key; diaphragm;

    Abstract : Stability calculations of prefabricated concrete structures with help of FEM-tools demand knowledge about how the elements are related to each other. This thesis concerns how joints between building elements affect the results when modelling prefabricated concrete structures, with demarcation to joints between hollow core (HC) slabs and between solid wall elements.
