  1. 1. Moment-resisting connections for glulam using birch plywood : An experimental study on both mechanical and adhesive connections

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Jonatan Ringaby; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to investigate the load-bearing capacity and stiffness of mechanical and adhesively bonded connections in timber structures with gusset plates made of birch plywood, as a preliminary study for potential future use in long-span timber structures which could reduce the environmental impact of the building sector by substituting steel with wood products in moment-resisting connections. Birch plywood was chosen for this study due to its high bending strength in comparison to plywood made of softwoods and its availability on the market. READ MORE

  3. 2. Concrete reinforced with FRP rebars : Evaluation of durability and behaviour in the Service Limit State (SLS)

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : David Ottosson; [2021]
    Keywords : GFRP; Durability; SLS; Atena;

    Abstract : One of the most common building materials is concrete and it has been for a long time. To overcome its low tensile capacity concrete structures are normally reinforced with steel rebars. READ MORE

  4. 3. Design and Analysis of a Generic Fixture for Physical Squeak and Rattle Prediction

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Maskinkonstruktion

    Author : Darshan Bandihalli Mahalingaiah; Ajayvarma Sagi; [2020]
    Keywords : Finite Element Analysis; Topology Optimization; Design and analysis; Squeak and Rattle; Biw; Cockpit.;

    Abstract : The thesis work investigates the possibility of replacing the Body-In-White (BIW) sections used in a physical test with a fixture. Volvo-cars perform several sub-system tests on its car components taken from various car models for different issues. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. Virtual Material Testing of Adhesive Joints

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Vinit Jethalal Nagda; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The automotive industry has shown an increasing interest in adhesive bonding for mixed-material joining. Modern design methods are critically dependent on accurate material models and data for numerical methods to enable the simulation of a design prototype early in the design process. READ MORE
