  1. 1. Drop-weight impact tests on reinforced concrete beams

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : John Abdalnour; Milad Saliba; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This master's thesis aimed to investigate the behaviour of reinforced concrete beams under dynamic loading conditions, specifically focusing on understanding shear failure. The study was conducted with KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the Swedish Fortifications Agency, and Tyréns. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Influence of Pigment Additives on the Barrier Properties of Dispersion Coatings

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Malin Eriksson; [2022]
    Keywords : dispersion coating; paper products; pigment; sustainable development; circular economy; Dispersionsbarriär; pappersprodukter; pigment; hållbar utveckling; cirkulär ekonomi;

    Abstract : Att minska plastavfall och uppmuntra återvinning har fått hög prioritet i många affärsverksamheter och olika typer av regleringar implementeras för att minska den negativa påverkan av plastanvändningen. Papper och kartong består i huvudsak av cellulosa som har många egenskaper som är essentiella för en hållbar ekonomi (t.ex. READ MORE

  4. 3. Shear Failure of Steel Fiber and Bar Reinforced Concrete Beams Without Stirrups : Predictions based on Nonlinear Finite Element Analyses

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : David Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : Nonlinear finite element analysis; Shear failure; Fiber reinforced concrete beams; ATENA;

    Abstract : Shear failure in concrete beams are often brittle in nature and potentially dangerous without adequatereinforcing measures. In design of concrete, it is commonly recommended to install transversalreinforcement along the shear span to induce a more ductile structural response, improving the shearcapacity all together and providing sufficient warning prior to collapse.

  5. 4. Influence of load distribution on trough bridges

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Jacob Gustafsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Bridge; Trough bridge; Concrete; Load distribution; Ballast;

    Abstract : There are approximately 4000 railway bridges in Sweden and a common construction type is the short span concrete trough bridge. With the current standards the load distribution through ballast is assumed to be uniformly distributed with a distribution slope of 2:1 according to the Swedish Administration of Transport or 4:1 according to Eurocode 1.

  6. 5. Numerical simulations of shear reinforced concrete beams subjected to blast loads

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Anton Frank; Andreas Fristedt; [2021]
    Keywords : Numerical simulations; shear reinforcement; blast loads; dynamic shear failure; Numeriska simuleringar; tvärkraftsarmering; luftstötvåg; dynamiskt skjuvbrott;

    Abstract : Historical accidents and experimental investigations have made apparent that blast loaded concrete members are prone to fail in brittle shear rather than a ductile flexure mode. Air blasts from accidental detonations or explosives may cause severe damage to buildings and infrastructure and it is of great importance that load carrying members can withstand the impulse that arise to avoid progressive collapses.
