  1. 1. Influence of Fluid Structure Interaction on a Concrete Dam during Seismic Excitation : -Parametric analyses of an Arch Dam-Reservoir-Foundation system

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Rikard Hellgren; [2014]
    Keywords : seismic; fluid-structure interaction; arch dam; concrete; finite element analysis; jordbävning; fluid-struktur interaction; valvdamm; betong; finit element analys;

    Abstract : The aim of this study is to investigate how Fluid-Structure interaction is included in numerical earthquake analyses of dams. The base for this project is theme A from the 12th international benchmark workshop on numerical analysis of dams, which was held in October 2013. READ MORE

  3. 2. Modal Testing and Structural Identification

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper; Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik

    Author : Tobias Kristensson; [2014]
    Keywords : Modal testing; Modal analysis; Structural identification; Vibration; Signal; EMA; OMA; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Bridges have been built around the world for at least 3000 years and have made it possible for man to travel over obstacles like valleys and rivers, which has contributed to the rapidly growing infrastructure we have today. Efforts made to save materials and reduce production costs have led to lighter and slender structures, which in turn can cause dynamic problems where the bridge is sensitive to vibrations. READ MORE

  4. 3. Dynamic analysis of the Baozhusi dam using FEM.

    University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

    Author : Zaid Alsuleimanagha; Jing Liang; [2012]
    Keywords : Baozhusi dam; Wenchuan earthquake; Finite element method; ABAQUS; Time history method;

    Abstract : High magnitude earthquakes have devastating effects that leads to severe human and material losses; when affecting concrete gravity dams, seisms devastate the surrounding habitat through sudden release of reservoir. Dam safety is therefore a significant issue to be accounted in order to prevent the failure of dams located in seismic regions. READ MORE

  5. 4. Earthquake Analysis of Pipe Supports in Nuclear Power Plants

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI)

    Author : Johan Mattsson; [2012]
    Keywords : structural analysis; earthquake engineering; mechanics; time history; spectrum; Abaqus; Pipestress; nuclear plant; pipe support; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This is the resulting rapport from a master thesis in the field of structural analysis, with a focus on earthquake engineering. In this project are pipe supports’ impacts on seismic design analysed. This is done by modelling a building, pipe supports and a pipe system in two different computer softwares. READ MORE
