    Keywords : Parametric design; Optimization; Punching shear; Concrete; Flat slab; Eurocode 2; Shear reinforcement; Genetic algorithm; Visual programming; Dynamo.; Parametrisk design; Optimering; Genomstansning; Betong; Pelardäck; Eurocode 2; Tvärkraftsarmering; Genetisk algoritm; Visuell programmering; Dynamo.;

    Abstract : The construction industry is currently developing and evolving towards more automated and optimized processes in the project design phase. One reason for this development is that computational power is becoming a more precise and accessible tool and its applications are multiplying daily. READ MORE

  3. 2. Punching shear in concrete flat slabs supported on slender edge steel columns

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Pasha Jalal; Jose Andres Perez; [2020]
    Keywords : Punching shear; ATENA; FEA; precast slab; flat slab; top and foot plate.; Genomstansning; ATENA; FEA; plattbärlag; pelardäck; topp- och fotplåt.;

    Abstract : Punching shear is a failure mechanism caused by concentrated loads, creating a crack pattern that resembles a cone shape or piece of pie starting from the top surface of the slab and prolongs downwards. When the total shear force is greater than the shear resistance of the slab, it may eventually lead to punching shear failure. READ MORE

  4. 3. Non-Linear Assessment of a Concrete Bridge Slab Loaded to Failure

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Eriksson Isabell; Niklas Karlsson; [2016]
    Keywords : concrete; linear shear; punching shear; non-linear finite element analysis; Eurocode; Model Code; ATENA 3D; betong; skjuvning; genomstansning; icke-linjär finit-elementanalys; Eurocode; Model Code; ATENA 3D;

    Abstract : This thesis covers an investigation regarding the failure in the bridge slab of Gruvvägsbron, which was the result of the full scale test that the bridge was subjected to prior to demolition. Using the non-linear finite element software ATENA 3D, a model of the bridge was assembled, with the purpose to attempt to reenact the test procedure and realistically capture the failure load and behaviour.
