  1. 1. Influence of Foundation Modelling on the Seismic Response of a Concrete Dam

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Stella Harrison; Siri Nöjd; [2021]
    Keywords : concrete dam; earthquake; finite element analysis; free-field forces; mass foundation; betong dam; jordbävning; finita element analys; free-field forces; inkluderad bergsmassa;

    Abstract : It is of great importance to ensure the structural safety of dams during earthquakes since a failure may cause catastrophic consequences. Conventional computation of the structural response of dams is based on a simplified approach where the foundation is considered as massless. READ MORE

  3. 2. Cross-comparison of Non-Linear Seismic Assessment Methods for Unreinforced Masonry Structures in Groningen

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Viktor Peterson; Zihao Wang; [2020]
    Keywords : Non-linear time-history analysis; non-linear pushover analysis; N2- method; equivalent frame model; continuum model; numerical seismic assessment; unreinforced masonry buildings iv;

    Abstract : A large amount of low-rise unreinforced masonry structures (URM) can be foundin Groningen, the Netherlands. More and more induced earthquakes with shortduration have been detected in this region due to gas exploitation. READ MORE

    Abstract : A large amount of low-rise unreinforced masonry structures (URM) can be found in Groningen, the Netherlands. More and more induced earthquakes with short duration have been detected in this region due to gas exploitation. READ MORE

  5. 4. A survey of recycled plastic waste as an alternative building material

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Olof Wadsö; Eric Svenmyr; [2019]
    Keywords : adequate housing; indoor climate; plastic waste; seismic behaviour; material properties; developing countries; Colombia; Arts and Architecture; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study charts the possibilities of recycled plastic and its use as an alternative building material for low-income housing in Colombia. The building materials in the study have been compared with respect to their physical properties, the cost and how they affect the indoor climate in each building. READ MORE

  6. 5. Seismic analysis and retrofitting of an existing multi-storey building in Stockholm

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Matilda Muca; Celine Haikal; [2018]
    Keywords : Earthquakes; seismic analysis; retrofitting; frequency; multi-storey building; shear wall; steel bracing; Jordbävningar; seismisk analys; förbättring av skadade byggnader; flervånings-byggnad; skjuvvägg; stålfackverk;

    Abstract : Throughout the years earthquakes are a huge concern for structures; causing losses of peoples’ lives, damages and collapse of homes. Usually, most of the buildings that collapse or have serious damages are mostly old buildings that do not fulfil any longer the updated regulations and building codes concerning seismic design.
