1. Differential railway track settlement in a transition zone – Field measurements and numerical simulations
Abstract : In a transition zone between two different railway track forms, there is a discontinuity in track structure leading to a gradient in track stiffness. Examples include transitions between different superstructures, e.g., slab track to ballasted track, and/or between different substructures, e. READ MORE

2. Experimental results from the Lysekil Wave Power Research Site
Abstract : This thesis presents how experimental results, from wave power research performed offshore at the Lysekil research site, were obtained. The data were used to verify theoretical models as well as evaluate the feasibility of wave power as a future sustainable energy source. READ MORE

3. Thermal impact on rolling contact fatigue of railway wheels
Abstract : Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) is a very common and costly damage mechanism for rails and wheels. This thesis investigates the influence of combined thermal and mechanical loading on RCF of railway wheels on the basis of numerical predictions. READ MORE

4. Addressing the complexity of sustainability-driven structural design: Computational design, optimization, and decision making
Abstract : Being one of the sectors with the largest environmental burden and high socio-economic impacts sets high requirements on the construction industry. At the same time, this provides the sector with great opportunities to contribute to the globally pursued sustainability transition. READ MORE

5. Durability of Reinforced Concrete under Impressed Current Cathodic Protection
Abstract : Impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) and prevention (ICCPre) are reliable and efficient techniques to stop, control and postpone corrosion in reinforced concrete structures. However, the wide application of this technique has been limited by the high cost of the anode system. READ MORE
