  2. 1. Strength Design Methods for Glass Structures

    Author : Maria Fröling; Institutionen för byggvetenskaper; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; finite element; computational techniques; laminated glass; stress concentration factor; design chart; bolt fixing; adhesive joint; balustrade; shear-capacity; dynamic impulse load; insulated glass;

    Abstract : In this thesis, user friendly and efficient methods for the design of glass structures are developed. The glass structures comprise various boundary conditions. Several types of glass are considered: single layered glass as well as laminated and insulated glass units. Typical load cases for strength design of glass are applied. READ MORE

  4. 2. Additive manufacturing of fused silica glass

    Author : Pawel Maniewski; Michael Fokine; Fredrik Laurell; Daniel Milanese; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; laser cladding; 3d printing; additive manufacturing; glass; fused silica; laser; scattering; silica; Optik och fotonik; Optics and Photonics; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

    Abstract : Additive Manufacturing, of both metals and polymers, has seen rapid development in recent years, whereas the progress in glass has been rather slow. Today, glass can be considered the last frontier without a specialized 3D printing method available. READ MORE

  5. 3. Annealed Glass Failure Modelling : A Weakest-Link Approach with Statistical Analysis

    Author : David Kinsella; Byggnadsmekanik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; glass strength; structural glass; Weibull distribution; weakest-link system; statistical analysis; experimental tests; numerical modelling; finite element method; fracture mechanics;

    Abstract : Novel and increased use of glass in building construction has been made possible, as a result of methods of mass production introduced during the 20th century and advanced computational structural analyses. With modern use of glass structures, a range of demands emerge which need to be addressed in the strength design process. READ MORE

  6. 4. Strengthening reinforced concrete structures with FRP composites

    Author : Jincheng Yang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; GFRP; finite element analysis.; corrosion; interfacial stress; externally bonded reinforcement; self-anchorage; CFRP; debonding; concrete structures; Fibre reinforced polymer; prestressing level;

    Abstract : Civil infrastructures made of reinforced concrete (RC) play an important role in the economic activities and services of society. However, signs of deterioration and functional deficiency are commonly found in existing RC structures. Thus, there is a great demand for upgrading the capacity and performance of existing concrete structures. READ MORE

  7. 5. Strengthening of timber structures with flax fibres

    Author : Alann Andre; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träbyggnad; Timber Structures;

    Abstract : The natural defects present in timber are the source of large variations in mechanical properties. This drawback has been partially counteracted with the use of Engineered Wood Products EWP (glulam, composite I-beam, parallel strand lumber, etc.) instead of solid wood. READ MORE
