  1. 1. Novel steel hinge connection for pedestrian timber bridges : Novel steel hinge connection for pedestrian timber bridges

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Charlotte Jaeger; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This study focuses on exploring a novel timber-to-timber joint using a steel hinge connection (in this work also referred to as door-hinge joint) for pedestrian timber bridges. To conduct the cross-section design of the structural bridge members, a numerical model was developed to determine the internal forces. READ MORE

  3. 2. The effect of taper on pile shaft bearing capacity : Finite element analysis of a tapered wooden pile in sulfate soil

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

    Author : Jonathan Lindström; [2023]
    Keywords : Pile; taper; timber piles; wooden piles; sulphide soil; sulfate soil; tapered piles;

    Abstract : he usage of piles, especially wooden piles, have been going on for thousands of years in construction and foundation reinforcements. Sometimes this was done temporary like the Romans who used wooden piles to construct bridges in Britain, or more permanently like the piles upon which the floating city of Venice stands. READ MORE

  4. 3. A parametric study of the static and dynamic performance of timber arch footbridges with different hanger configurations

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : ALEJANDRO GARCÍA GARCÍA; [2022]
    Keywords : Arch bridges; footbridge dynamics; critical load; bridge typology; parametric study;

    Abstract : The influence of the hanger configuration in the arch and deck bending moments under asymmetric loads is widely used nowadays for improved designs of arch bridges. In this work, by means of a parametric study, those hanger configurations that most efficiently increase both the natural frequencies and buckling factors are identified, simultaneously evaluating the dynamic and static performance of timber arch footbridges.

  5. 4. Expansion Joints in timber bridges : Mechanical behavior under external loading

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Johan Gustafsson; Jakob Myhrberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Expansion joint; FE-modeling; Timber bridges; Steel-to-wood connections; European Technical Approval Guidelines;

    Abstract : To design a bridge, different typologies of construction materials can be used. All materials have in common that deformations occur due to different events, such as externalloading, temperature- and moisture variations. To allow these kinds of deformations,Expansion Joints (EJs) are used in the structure. READ MORE

  6. 5. Determination of thermal conductivity for mastic asphalt by combining previously performed laboratory work and TASEF

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : Martin Kruse Lindgren; [2021]
    Keywords : Mastic asphalt; BPGJA-11; thermal conductivity; TASEF; FEM; Timber; Gjutasfalt; BPGJA-11; termisk konduktivitet; TASEF; FEM; Trä;

    Abstract : Mastic asphalt is a material which in Sweden mainly is used as coating for bridges, parking decks, courtyards and terraces. Mastic asphalt is a material built-up by a combination of bitumen (a type of binder), well-graded aggregate (consists of both coarse and fine ballast), filler, sand and sometimes also fine graded macadam.
