1. Slab Frame Bridges : Structural Optimization Considering Investment Cost and Environmental Impacts
Abstract : This research encompasses the automated design and structural optimization of reinforced concrete slab frame bridges, considering investment costs and environmental impacts. The most important feature of this work is that it focusses on realistic and complete models of slab frame bridges rather than on optimization of only individual members or sections of a bridge.

2. Application of Fracture Mechanics to Concrete Bridges. Finite element analyses and experiments
Abstract : Material models based on fracture mechanics together with non-linear finite element analyses have been used in combination with experiments to study the behaviour of reinforced concrete bridges. The work covers two aspects of interest in the design of concrete bridges.* The shear behaviour was studied in full-scale tests on two highway bridges. READ MORE

3. Life cycle assessment of bridges, model development and case studies
Abstract : In recent decades, the environmental issues from the construction sector have attracted increasing attention from both the public and authorities. Notably, the bridge construction is responsible for considerable amount of energy and raw material consumptions. READ MORE

4. Load carrying capacity of bridges : three case studies of bridges in northern Sweden where probabilistic methods have been used to study effects of monitoring and strengthening
Abstract : Probabilistic methods are presented for the assessment of bridges. Load carrying capacity calculations and evaluations of strengthening methods are carried out for three road bridges in northern Sweden: 1) The E4-bridge over Pite River - A four span steel beam bridge with a concrete deck built in 1969.
