1. 6. Semi-Automatic calculation of the stability of shear walls in multi-storey buildings

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

   Author : Erik Bolin; Emil Sjöstedt; [2022]
   Keywords : Horizontal stabilisation; Dynamo; Shear walls; Stability; Conceptual design phase; Visual programming; Openings in shear walls; Load distribution; Relative stiffness; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Performing horizontal stability analysis in the conceptual design phase is time consuming and adjustments in the geometry of the building require new time consuming calculations. Often buildings are modelled in 3D modelling software such as Revit and Tekla but the calculations are often performed in a separate software. READ MORE

3. 7. Assessing the safety of cracked concrete dams

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Abdelsamad Mohamed Osman Fadul; [2021]
   Keywords : Buttress dams; Concrete; Global stability; Design criteria; RIDAS; Sliding; Overturning; Finite element analysis; Progressive failure analysis;

   Abstract : AbstractThe overall safety of dams depend on several stipulations. One of them is global stability of the dam, which is addressed with approaches like that in (RIDAS, 2017) (the Swedish power companies’ guidelines for dam safety). When designing a new dam, two global failure modes; sliding and overturning should be considered according to RIDAS. READ MORE

4. 8. Numerical study of the effect of thermal ice loads on concrete dams

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Imal Zuwak; Wasseem Kordoghly; [2020]
   Keywords : Arch dam; Buttress dam; Concrete; Finite element analysis; Ice load; Valvdamm; Lamelldamm; Betong; Finit elementanalys; Islast;

   Abstract : It is essential to understand the mechanics of ice load and how it affects concrete dams located in a cold climate, such as Sweden, where the temperature becomes sufficiently cold to freeze the surface of the reservoir. The purpose of this thesis is to study ice load distribution along concrete dams, and its response during the application of an ice load. READ MORE

5. 9. Design of RCC gravity dam and FEM modelling in GeoStudio - Longtan dam

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Patrick Lucas Arkadiusz Bochnak; Maria Eugenia Correa Saracco; [2020]
   Keywords : RCC; China; Longtan dam; Flood routing; GeoStudio; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : China’s rapid economic development has led to a continuously increasing energy demand and the country is the world’s biggest energy user as of today. The country accounts for around 23% of the global energy production, but 70% of the Chinese energy is generated with coal power and China is the biggest emitter of CO2 in the world. READ MORE

6. 10. Safety Assessment of Cracked Buttress Dams

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Robel Tekeste Fekadu; Sujata Kayastha; [2020]
   Keywords : Concrete buttress dam; finite element analysis; safety factor; global failure; reinforcement; corrosion; combined failure; traditional stability analysis;

   Abstract : Most of the concrete buttress dams in Sweden were built from the 1950s till the1980s based on the traditional method of analyses. Those structures are reinforced and heavy in structure. Their height to thickness ratio being large makes them prone to crack during their lifespan. READ MORE
