  1. 1. Concrete girders or steel trusses constituting the foundation under a building? : A comparison regarding the block Forskaren in Stockholm

    University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och design

    Author : Berta Moshye; Nancy Shlimon; [2020]
    Keywords : LCA; Concrete girders; Steel trusses; LCA; Betongbalkar; Stålfackverk;

    Abstract : Hagastaden is a new district in Stockholm that is growing, and many structures are being built. Kv Forskaren, a funnel-like office building, will be built above the Haga tunnel in an ongoing project. READ MORE

  3. 2. Alternative methods to prevent thermal cracking in concrete

    University essay from

    Author : Alexander Barchin; Navid Sedighi; [2019]
    Keywords : Massive concrete structures; heat development; cement hydration; temperature reduction; cracking; fly ash; ice; coarse aggregates; cooling methods; practical tests.; Massiva betongkonstruktioner; värmeutveckling; cementhydrataion; temperaturreducering; sprickbildning; flygaska; is; grov ballast; kylningsmetoder praktiska försök.;

    Abstract : In the construction industry, concrete is the most common material, because of its good properties such as compressive strength and endurance. Concrete is a composition of several different materials where one of the main components is cement. When the hydration process starts, large amount of heat is generated. READ MORE

  4. 3. Prediction of early age and time dependent deformations in a massive concrete structure

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Ali Aghili; Haris Ribac; [2018]
    Keywords : Early age concrete; hydration of cement; Storfinnforsen; ConTeSt; crack risk; temperature development; strain; mass concrete structures; measurement plan; Ung betong; hydratation av cement; Storfinnforsens kraftverk; ConTeSt; sprickrisk; temperatur; töjning; massiva konstruktioner; mätningsplanering;

    Abstract : The heat development that occurs due to the hydration of cement is important to consider during casting of massive concrete structures. By using computer programs that are based on finite element methods (FEM), simulations can be performed on the heat- and strength development. READ MORE

  5. 4. Temperature reduction during concrete hydration in massive structures

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Sandra Lagundzija; Marie Thiam; [2017]
    Keywords : Massive concrete structures; hydration heat; temperature reduction; crack risk; mineral additions; concrete cooling; Massiva betongkonstruktioner; värmeutveckling; temperaturreducering; sprickbildning; mineraltillsatser; kylning av betong;

    Abstract : Concrete is one of the most used building materials in the world because of its good properties. However, cement which is one of the main components in concrete, produces a high amount of heat during the hydration process. The generated heat leads to temperature rise inside the structure.

  6. 5. FE analysis of interlocking C3C solid concrete blocks without casting

    University essay from Institutionen för teknik, TEK

    Author : Emina Deumic; Damir Sadic; [2011]
    Keywords : Concrete blocks; Retaining wall; Temporary construction; Overturning; Finite Element Model; Betongblock; Stödmur; Tillfälliga konstruktioner; Vältning; Finita Element Modell;

    Abstract : Solid concrete Lego blocks can be used as temporary retaining wall systems or as wall separators between different materials such as sand, salt, compost, etc. The advantage of concrete blocks is that you can create temporary constructions. It is easy to move or expand the constructions when no casting is required between the blocks.
