1. 1. Optimization of reinforced concrete cantilever retaining walls considering environmental impact and investment cost

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Christofer Schmied; Viktor Karlsson; [2021]
   Keywords : Structural optimization; Reinforced concrete cantilever retaining wall; Environmental impact; Investment cost iii;

   Abstract : Today's civil engineering structures are most often designed through a trial anderror approach, which means that the designer tests a design solution andevaluates whether all requirements are met. If any of the requirements are notmet, changes are made to the design until a feasible solution is obtained. READ MORE

3. 2. An Automated Process for Concrete Reinforcement Layout Design

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Cecilia Gavrell; Ludvig Reuterswärd; [2018]
   Keywords : Genetic algorithm; Optimization; Reinforcement layout design; Automation; Buildability; Constructability; Genetisk algoritm; Optimering; Armering; Automatisering; Byggbarhet;

   Abstract : As many tasks considering structural design in civil engineering become digitalised, the possibility of creating a more effective workflow increases. The development of computer programs that can handle large amounts of data and assist the decision making during design process increases the requirement of the data management to fully utilize the potential of a digital workflow.

4. 3. Structural Optimization of Bridge Cantilever Decks : Applications of an Automated Design

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Jorge García-Brioles Bueno; Gustavo Zelmanovitz Ciulla; [2018]
   Keywords : Structural Optimization; Bridge Cantilever Deck; Transversal Analysis; Investment Cost; Computer Automation; Abaqus-MATLAB connection; FE design.;

   Abstract : Civil engineering projects involve great investments and great impacts. For that reason,engineers have a commitment with an efficient and optimal use of resources. READ MORE

5. 4. Semi-Analytical Finite Element method for guided waves in civil engineering plate-like structures

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

   Author : Christian Nielsen; [2015]
   Keywords : seismics; structural health monitoring; lamb waves; SAFE; semi analytical finite element; wave guide finite element; non destructive testing; civil engineering; ultrasound; ultrasonography; comsol; wave guide; plate; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Guided waves have a signicant potential for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) due to their relatively long distance of propagation and sensitivity to discontinuities along the propagation path, anywhere through the material thickness. The inability to model wave guides of arbitrary cross-section using current matrix methods, has led to the development of a technique called Semi-Analytical Finite Element (SAFE). READ MORE

6. 5. Concrete sandwich element design in terms of Passive Housing recommendations and moisture safety

   University essay from KTH/Byggvetenskap; KTH/Skolan för arkitektur och samhällsbyggnad (ABE)

   Author : Panagiotis Gkorogias; Susanna Gerges; [2015]
   Keywords : Concrete sandwich elements; thermal bridges; passive housing;

   Abstract : In this thesis project a concrete sandwich wall element of 250 mm insulation of Kooltherm has been resulted to have U-values and ψ-values closer to the passive housing recommendations. However, by using 180 mm thick insulation, no significant difference in the annual energy consumption is observed. READ MORE
