  1. 6. Assessment of ice loads on piled structures based on local conditions

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Astrid Lindblom; Elin Ånger; [2022]
    Keywords : Ice loads; Local conditions; Structural design; Piled structures; Islaster; Lokala förhållanden; Dimensionering; Pålade konstruktioner;

    Abstract : This master report studies structural design methods for ice loads and the impact of local conditions. Ice loads occur due to ice movements or expansion of the ice sheet. Specifically, this study analyses ice loads on piled structures and ten different design methods and handbooks to calculate the ice load. READ MORE

  3. 7. Monitoring and Modelling of the Abiskojåkka Bridge

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : Kasper Furenstam; [2020]
    Keywords : Prestressed bridge; Abisko; Monitoring; thermal effects; FEM;

    Abstract : The infrastructure of today is getting older and problems caused by deterioration over time is affecting the service life of these structures. In Sweden most of the existing bridges were constructed 60 to 70 years ago, rising the need to determine the state of health of the bridges as the maintenance costs will increase heavily. READ MORE

  4. 8. Electrohydraulic Power Steering Simulation : Dynamic, thermal and hydraulic modelling

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Oskar Svensson; [2019]
    Keywords : PMSM; SVPWM; vector control; FOC; lumped parameter model; LPM; hydraulic pump; simulation;

    Abstract : There are several benets of electrohydraulic power steering systems, as compared to hydraulicpower steering systems where the pump is driven directly by the engine of the vehicle. Someof these benets are increased eciency and improved steering performance. READ MORE

  6. 10. Moisture Content and Mould Risk in Concrete Outer Walls

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsteknik

    Author : Jóhanna Eir Björnsdóttir; Jóhann Björn Jóhannsson; [2018]
    Keywords : External walls; exterior insulation; interior insulation; moisture damage; mould; concrete wall; WUFI;

    Abstract : Previous studies on the typical Icelandic external wall have shown thatcondensation occurs at the interior surface of the concrete and field inspectionshave supported this conclusion. The primary objective ofthis study is to analyse the hygrothermal behaviour of the typical Icelandicwall and evaluate the mould risk at the interior surface of theconcrete. READ MORE
