1. The impact of stage casting on shrinkage restraint in concrete walls
University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och designAbstract : The most used widely material in the construction and industrial industry is concrete. Concrete is a material that has been used for a long time and will remain to do so. Therefore, it is especially important to obtain knowledge of the material’s properties and how it is affected by various conditions. READ MORE

2. Reinforced Concrete Subjected To Restraint Forces : A comparison with non-linear numerical analyses
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : In Sweden, it is Eurocode 2 which forms the basis for performing a design of concrete structures, in which methods can be found treating the subject of restrained concrete members and cracking in the serviceability limit state. In the code, both detailed hand calculations procedures as well as simplified methods are described. READ MORE

3. Investigation of cracking due to restraint forces in Swedish concrete slab frame bridges
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för KonstruktionsteknikAbstract : When concrete slab frame bridges are designed with modern linear 3D FE-models large tensile restraint forces will arise in the transversal direction of the bridge from the temperature and shrinkage loads. These restraint forces are much larger than those that are accounted for in the older 2D models. READ MORE

4. Cracking Assessment of Concrete Slab Frame Bridges Exposed to Thermally Induced Restraint Forces
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : The usage of linear 3D FEA is widespread within the bridge design community, and although this tool provides substantial benefits in the design process, there are certain practical issues related to the application of this analysis tool. A situation in which such an issue prevails is when linear 3D FEA is used to analyze restraint forces due to thermal shrinkage or expansion in concrete slab frame bridges. READ MORE
