  1. 1. Reinforced Concrete Structures Subjected to Imposed Deformations: A Study of Cracking due to Shrinkage in Slab Foundations for Residential Houses

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för bygg- och miljöteknologi

    Author : Henrik Johansson; Martin Heinegård; [2020]
    Keywords : Reinforced concrete structures; nonlinear finite element analysis; crack widths; imposed deformations; shrinkage; foundation slabs; fracture mechanics; Atena 2D; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The need for limiting crack widths in reinforced concrete structures is due to durability, tightness towards gaseous and liquid substances, and for aesthetic reasons. Although concrete cracks at relatively low tensile stresses and can not be avoided, strategies for crack control can be adopted to meet the requirements. READ MORE

  3. 2. In-plane moisture variation and the effect on paper properties and out-of-plane deformation

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Aron Tysén; [2011]
    Keywords : Moisture; Curling; Cockling; spraying; drying;

    Abstract : For this master thesis, two methods to apply a pattern with a controlled amount of moisture to hand sheets were evaluated. The two methods evaluated were spraying and pressing. Spraying moisture onto the sheets was deemed the easiest method to control and was chosen for further studies. READ MORE

  5. 4. Fibre-to-Board - Validation of the Simulation Model and Development of Laboratory Methods to Receive Input Data

    University essay from Fakulteten för teknik- och naturvetenskap

    Author : Charlotta Boström; Anna Rosén; [2006]
    Keywords : shrinkage; free drying; restrained drying; Fibre-to-Board; hand sheet properties; fine material; tensile stiffness; simulation;

    Abstract : Fibre-to-board is a simulation model developed at Stora Enso Research Centre Karlstad. Within this model isotropic hand sheet properties are used as input data for prediction of the final multi ply board properties. READ MORE
