  2. 1. Durability of fire exposed concrete : Experimental Studies Focusing on Sti„ffness & Transport Properties

    Author : Joakim Albrektsson; Johan Silfwerbrand; Lars Boström; Manouchehr Hassanzadeh; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Concrete; Fire; Polypropylene fibres; Durability; Tunnel; Damage assessment; Ultrasonic pulse velocity; Water absorption; Chloride migration; DIC; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

    Abstract : Road and rail tunnels are important parts of the modern infrastructure. High strength concrete (HSC) is commonly used for tunnels and other civil engineering structures, since it allows high load carrying capacity and long service life. In general, Swedish road and rail tunnels should be designed for a service life of 120 years. READ MORE

  4. 2. Steel fibre corrosion in cracks : durability of sprayed concrete

    Author : Erik Nordström; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : Steel fibre reinforced sprayed concrete is common practice for permanent linings in underground construction. Today there is a demand on "expected technical service life" of 120 years. Thin steel fibres could be expected to discontinue carrying load fast with a decrease of fibre diameter caused by corrosion, especially in cracks. READ MORE

  5. 3. Durability of sprayed concrete : steel fibre corrosion in cracks

    Author : Erik Nordström; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : A combination of sprayed concrete technique and steel fibre technology gives obvious advantages when saving the work needed to place conventional reinforcement. In rock strengthening applications this is most accentuated. Sprayed concrete in general, made by skilled workmen, will generally be of high quality and good durability. READ MORE

  6. 4. Above Ground Durability of Swedish Softwood

    Author : Åsa Blom; Mikael Bergström; Thomas Thörnqvist; Birger Eikenes; Växjö universitet; []
    Keywords : above ground; durability; field test; mass loss; Mycologg; Norway spruce; permeability; Picea abies; Pinus sylvestris; Scots pine; FORESTRY; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES and LANDSCAPE PLANNING; SKOGS- och JORDBRUKSVETENSKAP samt LANDSKAPSPLANERING;

    Abstract : This thesis describes aspects of durability of Swedish softwood in above ground applications. The thesis consists of a summary of nine papers, which all aim to explain the existing variation in above ground microbial durability and moisture sensitivity of Norway spruce (Picea abies) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris).

  7. 5. Ink Jetting of Photochromic Ink : Towards the Design of a Smart Textile Sensor

    Author : Sina Seipel; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Inkjet printing; UV curing; photochromic; UV-sensing; smart textile; resource-efficient; scCO2 dyeing; jetting; dye kinetics; color performance; durability; stabilization; Textil och mode generell ; Textiles and Fashion General ;

    Abstract : Smart textiles have been a hot topic in research for several decades; however, comparatively few products can be found on the market. Resource-efficient processes can boost the breakthrough of smart and functional textiles, which often necessitate high-cost materials and only require small batches. READ MORE
