  1. 6. Seismic evaluation and retrofitting of an existing building in Athens using pushover analysis

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Angelos Lazaris; [2019]
    Keywords : Earthquakes; seismic analysis; retrofitting; pushover analysis; concrete building; steel bracing; fibre reinforced plastic;

    Abstract : Earthquakes are one of the biggest problems in civil engineering all over the world. Due to earthquakes, great disasters in cities with collapsed structures and human losses have been caused. READ MORE

  3. 7. Design and Crash Analysis of Ladder Chassis

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknik

    Author : Monica Muthyala; [2019]
    Keywords : Crash Analysis; Finite element Analysis; Thickness Optimization.;

    Abstract : A chassis is known as the carrying unit of an automobile, like the engine, transmission shaft and other parts are mounted on it. Ladder chassis has longitudinal rails which are connected along the length with crossmembers through welding or mechanical fasteners. Rectangular box section is chosen for the longitudinal rails of ladder chassis. READ MORE

  4. 8. Seismic Analysis of Norra Tornen : A Comparison Based on the Requirements in Eurocode 8

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Andreas Barbaranelli; Andreas Wallin; [2019]
    Keywords : Earthquake design; High-Rise buildings; Tall buildings; Seismic Performance; Earthquake Engineering; Modal analysis; FE-analysis; Eurocode 8; Geotechnical engineering; Design Concepts; Foundation;

    Abstract : In Sweden, buildings are not designed to withstand earthquakes due to the rarity of an earthquake event and its consequential damage. However, the aim of this thesis was to study the seismic performance of some of the highest buildings in Stockholm, called Innovationen and Helix. READ MORE

  5. 9. Conceptual Dynamic Analysis of a Vehicle Body

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : Björn Pedersen; [2018]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) and body dynamic performance of automotive vehicles is highly dependent of the components included in the body structure and compartment, since they add mass, stiffness and damping to the overall structure. Today, the noise levels in the compartment are predicted using complex and detailed computational models during both early and late stages of the vehicle development process. READ MORE

  6. 10. Widening of The Nockeby Bridge : Methods for strengthening the torsional resistance

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Jenny Andersson; [2016]
    Keywords : Strengthening of bridges; external prestressed reinforcement; carbon-fiber reinforced polymer; torsion; torsional resistance; prestressed concrete; Förstärkning av broar; extern spännarmering; kolfiberförstärkning; vridning; vridkapacitet; förspänd betong;

    Abstract : i Abstract The Nockeby Bridge, in the western part of Stockholm, is a prestressed concrete bridge with an openable swing span of steel. The bridge was built during 1970 and should now be widened with 0.5 meters on each side. The concrete bridge deck is supported by two main-beams and cross-beams are located at the position of all supports. READ MORE
